### 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.)

{{item:1252842}}

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":

### Old words, new jobs

| you know | now also |
|---|---|
| **la plaza**: the square | a place, a spot |
| **el título**: the title | the qualification, the diploma |
| **marcar**: to score (a goal) | to tick; to dial |

A *plaza* is also a place you can get: on a course, at a school, in a car park.

{{item:1252849}}

A book has a *título*, and so does a person who has finished a course:

{{item:1252853}}

On a form, *marcar* is usually to tick; on a phone, it is to dial:

### Joining in

**Formar** is "to form": a group, a band. **Formar parte de** is "to be part of"; *de* + *el* becomes *del*:
