From a newspaper article about school enrollment:
“We can’t withdraw students from our roles until after the 10th day.”
Notice how I said, "enrollment," not something like "enrolement." That's because lists of students at schools are called "rolls," not "roles." "Roles" refers to parts in a play or movie, for example.
