What is a Matriculant?

Matriculant is a term used in some educational institutions to refer to a student who has been accepted and enrolled in a particular program or course of study. The word is derived from the Latin words "matricula," meaning "list" or "register," and "ulare," meaning "to enroll."

In higher education, for example, a matriculant is a student who has been officially enrolled in a university or college and is taking classes towards a degree. In this context, the term is often used to refer to students who have completed the necessary application and admission processes and have begun their studies.

Matriculant can also be used more broadly to refer to any student who is enrolled in an educational institution, regardless of the level of study or the specific program being pursued.
