Applying to programs and enrolling in schools

Note: Before students can apply to programs, they must be registered in the district. For more information about registering students in the district, see Registration [>>] or Enrollment [>>].

Students must be enrolled in the school before you can assign them to a program offered at the school. If a school uses controlled enrollment, such as a magnet school, then students must be offered a position in and be eligible for a controlled enrollment program at the school before they can be enrolled in the school, and they are assigned to the program automatically as part of their school enrollment process. For more information about controlled enrollment, see Controlling enrollment in schools [>>].

If the school offering a program does not use controlled enrollment, students can apply to the program before or after they enroll in the school. However, they cannot be assigned to the program until they are enrolled in the school.

Use the following overall procedure to assign students to programs and enroll them in the appropriate schools:

If the student is not enrolled in the school that offers the program, enroll the student in the school. See Enrolling students in schools [>>]. Note: If the school controls enrollment, the student must be offered a position in and be eligible for a controlled enrollment program at the school before they can enroll in the school.

If the school does not use controlled enrollment, assign the student to the program. See Assigning students to programs [>>]. Note: If the school uses controlled enrollment, students are automatically assigned to the program when they enroll in the school.
