English translation:S/He registered for the course in May.
Explanation:
S/He registered for the course in May.

Inscribirse is "to register for" (a class, a course).

Asignatura can be "subject," but in the context of registration, it would be "course"

I note that the Spanish syntax is a bit "poetic," that is, the adverbial expression of time precedes the direct object. Makes it a little harder to figure out, doesn't it?

In May, (The student) registered in the subject.


Explanation:
Hola Rualina,
But, course would sound better than subject, if that will work as well.
