matriculation
Formal college enrollment
Matriculation is the formal process of enrolling at a college or university.
The verb matriculate means to be admitted and registered as a student: She matriculated at Oxford in 1987.
The term carries a formal, ceremonial quality—you don't matriculate at a community college course, but you might at an institution with traditional admission rites.
