有谁知道appling as a matriculant 什么意思？ 急！

Are you applying as a matriculant?

申请过程中出现的一个必答问题，请问有谁知道这什么意思？

This is a very strange question.  In order to be a matriculant, you must first apply, be offered admission, and then formally accept the offer and register for classes.  So for an application for to ask if you are "applying as a matriculant" is pretty confusing, even to a native speaker of English like me.  There are two explanations I can think of:

1. They are asking if you are currently, or were formerly, a student at their university.  For example, if you are currently studying an MS in Finance at the same university where you are applying for an MBA, you could say you are applying for an MBA as a matriculant. 

2. In some old universities they have special definitions of "matriculant" that are not used elsewhere. For instance there are some Canadian universities where "matriculant" means you are taking courses for credit and "non-matriculant" means you are only auditing.  Your second post sounds like this might be the case.
