Enrollment and admission are two distinct but related processes within educational institutions. Enrollment refers to the act of registering for courses or programs offered by an institution. It is typically the final step for a student who has already been accepted and decided to attend. This process involves selecting specific classes, confirming schedules, and often paying tuition and fees. The enrollment period is a defined timeframe during which students can make these selections.

Admission, on the other hand, is the process by which an educational institution selects students to attend its programs. This is a competitive process for many institutions, where applicants are evaluated based on various criteria. These criteria can include academic records such as grades and test scores, standardized test results, essays or personal statements, letters of recommendation, and sometimes interviews or portfolios. The admission committee reviews these components to determine which candidates meet the institution's standards and available capacity.

Successful admission grants a student eligibility for enrollment. Without admission, a student cannot proceed to enroll in courses. Conversely, a student may be admitted but choose not to enroll, for various personal or financial reasons. Both processes are crucial for the functioning of educational systems, ensuring that students are both qualified and committed to pursuing their studies.
