Signing up
La matrícula is the enrollment: signing up for a course or a school year, and the fee you pay for it. (On a car, the same word is the license plate.)
| Have you already paid the course enrollment fee? | ¿Ya has pagado la matrícula del curso? |
You know el plazo as a deadline: el plazo de matrícula is the time you have to sign up. With money, un plazo is one installment, and a plazos means "in installments":
| The enrollment period ends on Friday. | El plazo de matrícula termina el viernes. |
| Could I pay for the course in installments? | ¿Podría pagar el curso a plazos? |

| Tick the correct answer. | Marca la respuesta correcta. |
