enrolls

Enrolls is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb enroll, meaning to officially register to participate in a course, program, service, or organization. The object can be a person or a program; examples include "She enrolls in a biology course" and "The university enrolls new students each fall."

Enrollment is the noun for the act or process of enrolling, and enrollment figures often describe the size of a school or program.

Spelling varies by region: American English uses enroll as the verb and enrollment as the noun; British English typically uses enrol as the verb and enrolment as the noun. The gerund and participles align accordingly (enrolling; enrolled).

In non-educational contexts, enrolls may apply to joining clubs, professional associations, or government programs. Enrollment processes can involve prerequisites, fees, deadlines, waitlists, and eligibility verification.

Related terms include enrollee, a person who is enrolled; enrollment, the act or result; matriculation, used in some jurisdictions to describe formal admission and initial registration.
