Enrol in, enrol on, enrol for

Is it 'to enrol in a course of studies', 'to enrol on a course of studies' or 'to enrol for a course of studies'?

If all three are possible, do they mean the same thing?

Thank you.

I have never heard the second locution ("enroll on"), and it doesn't match my sense of the verb enroll. While the third ("enroll for") is not incorrect, it also seems less common, although I believe I have heard it. The first locution ("enroll in") is familiar, and the one which I would use. One of our British/Commonwealth members might comment as well. I believe that the verb is enroll in North America, and enrol elsewhere in the English-speaking world. (My spell-checking program does not like enrol with only one "l.")

@Setanta,
Brits would be happy with on, in, for. Cambridge English Dictionary concurs. As for spelling, two Ls in America, one everywhere else.

Or else there'd be l to pay.

@centrox,
It is spelled enroll in North America--Canadians do not display all the bizarre spelling traits of the English, just some of them.
