act of officially signing up
The act of officially signing up to be part of a school, class, program, or service.
Muundo wa matumizi:
enrollment in [course/school/program/service]
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "enrollment" (noun) with "enroll" (verb). For example, they may say *"I enrollment in the course"* instead of *"I enroll in the course"* or *"My enrollment in the course"*. Also, some learners incorrectly use a preposition such as *"enrollment to the course"* instead of the more natural *"enrollment in the course"*.
Visawe
registration (Very close in meaning; often interchangeable, though "registration" is slightly more general and used in more contexts.)
Vinyume
withdrawal (Refers to officially leaving or removing yourself from a course or program after previously enrolling.)

number of people enrolled
The number of people who are signed up for a school, class, program, or service.
Muundo wa matumizi:
the enrollment of [school/program] is [number]
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes mix this sense with the process sense and say things like *"the enrollment is starting"* when they really mean "the sign-up period" (process) rather than the number of students. For the number, use patterns like *"enrollment is high/low"* or *"enrollment is 200"*.
Visawe
headcount (Informal and slightly more general; refers to the number of people present or involved, not only officially enrolled.)
Vinyume
vacancy (Refers to available places that are not filled; used to highlight the opposite situation of all places being filled with enrolled people.)

time window to change coverage
The special time when you are allowed to sign up for or change an insurance or benefits plan.
Muundo wa matumizi:
during the [type] enrollment period
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes treat this as the general school-related meaning and say things like *"enrollment for the hospital"* when they mean insurance. In benefits and insurance contexts, "enrollment" usually refers to choosing or changing a plan, not to being admitted to a place.
Visawe
signup period (More general and informal; does not specifically suggest insurance or benefits, but the idea is similar.)
Vinyume
blackout period (In benefits or contracts, a time when changes are not allowed; the opposite of a period when enrollment changes are possible.)

adding biometric data to a system
In security systems, the act of saving a person’s fingerprint, face, or other data so the system can know who they are.
Muundo wa matumizi:
enrollment of [user/biometric data] in [system]
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners may confuse this with general school or course enrollment and not realize it has a technical meaning in security systems. In tech contexts, mention of fingerprints, faces, or devices usually signals this specialized sense.
Visawe
registration (A broader term; in technical security contexts, "enrollment" highlights the capture of biometric data, whereas "registration" can be any kind of sign-up.)
Vinyume
deletion (Refers to removing stored user or biometric data from a system, the opposite of adding it during enrollment.)
