If Word don't put a green squiggle under it, it stays "enroll". This is
from Canada - kinda on the fence with l's, though snotty about adding
u's to words likely already too long for comfort.

With authority, I can say you spell enroll "sign up" in the U.K. <g>
Actually, one would almost expect a stray "u," "ue," and a dash of
passive, wouldn't one? And, the single-l approach is a Yank one ... in
the U.K. the tendency is towards double-l (bloody-l??).
