WHAT IS MATRICULATION. Matriculation is a process that assists students in meeting their educational goals. Participation in each step of the matriculation process will assist you in identifying, planning, and achieving your educational and career goals.
Along with growth and learning, maturation is one of three processes that play a central role in a person's development. Maturation does not necessarily happen along with aging or physical growth, but is a part of growth and development. The concept of maturation was pioneered by Arnold Gesell in the 1940s.
