late enrollment

Signing up tardy

Late enrollment is signing up for something after the standard registration period has ended.

The term appears most often in insurance and education contexts: Late enrollment in Medicare may result in penalties.

Late enrollment typically incurs fees or restrictions not applied to those who register on time.
