Formal Neutral
What it really means
The official process of registering as a student at the start of each year — confirming your details, showing documents, getting your student card. You are not fully a student (and cannot get letters or loans) until it is done.
Chinese explanation
每学年开始时的正式注册：确认信息、出示证件、领学生证。没完成注册就不算正式在读，也开不了证明信。
Example conversation
A: I can't get a bank letter yet.
B: Have you finished enrolment? They only issue letters once you're fully registered.
A：我还开不了银行证明信。
B：你注册完成了吗？要完全注册后学校才给开信。
