University Schools Lottery
University Schools utilizes an online lottery method to select applicants for any available open seat. We automatically re-enroll students who are currently enrolled unless parents notify us of other arrangements. We will accept online open enrollment applications all year. However, to guarantee inclusion in the first round drawing that takes place in January, we must receive online open enrollment applications by the second Friday in December. The lottery begins in January and continues through September as long as seats are available.
By policy, priority is given first to University Schools staff/faculty members’ children, second to siblings of current University Schools students and third to students who select University Schools as their first or second choice in the open enrollment process. We will notify those selected in the lottery by text message and/or email, after which you will have five days to accept the offer.
*A child must be 5 on or before August 15 to enter kindergarten at University Schools.
Denial
University Schools may deny enrollment based on misrepresentation or non-disclosure of a material fact on the application, expulsion within the preceding 12 months, graduation from 12th grade from any school, failure to complete the New Student Registration and/or failure to return the required registration paperwork.
Applicant Responsibility
Applicants are responsible for visiting our online open enrollment system (SchoolMint Enroll) to update any changes to their application including but not limited to sibling status, address, and phone numbers. Until chosen by lottery, all online open enrollment applications will remain active and kept in the lottery database until we offer enrollment to the applicants or the parent/guardian requests removal. We determine eligibility for interscholastic athletics in accordance with the rules of the Colorado High School Activities Association. Please note transportation is the responsibility of parents/guardians.
