The School Choice Process Applications Wizard selects a status for the applications that have been received. Only future calendars will be displayed here and each grade level for each calendar should have the Maximum Seat Count field entered with the appropriate value, which represents the number of seats available for enrollment in that grade level for that particular calendar or schedule structure.

This wizard allows:

  • The processing of applications to an approved status for student applications with a high enough score to reserve a seat based on the Maximum Seat Count set on a grade level. If sequential processing is enabled, approvals will only be processed for the highest priority of a student's applications.
  • The processing of unapproved student applications with an unapproved status based on the user's selection. 

The district may choose to enable the portal for the applicant to accept or decline an application on the Portal by selecting the Enable Portal checkbox and/or send an email status notification by selecting the Send Notices checkbox.
