Legal Definitions - enrolled

Enrolled refers to the status of being officially registered, listed, or formally accepted into a program, system, or organization. It signifies that an individual or item has completed the necessary procedures to be recognized and included within a formal record or system.

• Example 1: Education

  After successfully applying and being accepted, a prospective student completes all the necessary paperwork to join a university's graduate program in business administration.

  In this scenario, the student is now enrolled in the graduate program. Their name and details have been officially recorded by the university, granting them the status of a recognized participant with access to courses, facilities, and academic resources.

• Example 2: Legislation

  A proposed piece of legislation, having passed through all required votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, is then meticulously prepared and certified by the legislative clerks before being sent to the President for signature.

  At this stage, the bill is considered enrolled. This means it has been formally authenticated and recorded as having successfully completed all legislative steps, making it ready for the final executive action to become law.

• Example 3: Healthcare Insurance

  During the annual benefits selection period, an employee reviews various health insurance options provided by their company and submits the forms to select a specific medical and dental plan for themselves and their family.

  The employee and their family are now enrolled in the chosen health insurance plans. Their information has been officially registered with the insurance provider, establishing their membership and eligibility for covered medical and dental services.
