Priority Groups

Priority Group Settings

When does the automatic approval happen?

Settings / Enrollment Periods / Edit track year / Edit priority group:

As you set up the priorities within the track year, you can select whether Admin needs to manually approve the claim or if you want the system to do it for you.

How to Order Applications within a Priority Group:

Settings / Enrollment Periods / Edit track year / Edit priority group:

As you set up the priorities within the track year, you can select whether students within that group should be randomized within that group or ordered by date.

When you run a lottery, the priorities will be pulled based on the order listed in the track year. Students within a priority group will be pulled based on the setting for random/ordered.

• If they're ordered based on qualifying date, then their order won't change as you run lotteries & previews.  Examples of this might be your highest preferences such as students of board members, teachers, siblings, etc.
• If they're set up to be random within the priority group, then they'll still be prioritized above "General" but they'll be selected randomly within that priority group.  Students within this priority group might be mile-radius students, military, etc.
