Did you know?
- The word matrícula shares a root with the Latin word mātrīx, meaning 'mother' or 'source'. In its earliest sense, it referred to a primary register or a 'mother list' of names.
- The term colegiatura is derived from colegio, which historically referred to a residential college of scholars rather than a general school.
- While matrícula refers to the cost of a course in Spain, in many Latin American countries, it refers specifically to the one-time enrollment fee, whereas colegiatura covers the ongoing tuition.
