Students who request a full-day schedule should note that this is considered a request, as there are a limited number of full-day seats available. Full-time acceptances will be determined after initial program acceptances are processed, and families will be notified separately if a full-day request is approved and a seat is reserved.

Lottery System Process/Oversubscribed Program Procedure:

The lottery system will go into effect if the number of eligible applications for a program exceeds the number of seats available. Tolles will use an electronic randomizer to select from the pool of eligible applications submitted during the Priority Application Window.

If an applicant is selected for a seat in the program, they will be notified and must claim their seat within the following timelines, depending on when the offer is made:

February–May 31, 2026: two weeks to claim the seat
June–July 2026: one week to claim the seat
August until the first day of school: 48 hours to claim the seat
Once the school year has started: 24 hours to claim the seat

If a student does not claim their seat within the stated timeframe, the seat may be offered to the next student on the waitlist.

Once seats are filled in a program, remaining eligible applications will be placed on a waitlist. Students on the waitlist will be placed in order according to their lottery number. Any student who applied during the Priority Application Window will maintain their place on the waitlist; this position will not change as additional students apply after the priority window closes.

Priority Application Acceptance:

For our two year programs, acceptances to Career and Technical Education programs will be processed in the following priority order. Tolles will utilize the Oversubscribed Program Procedure when necessary:

Current students enrolled in the Tolles Sophomore Academy program on main campus earning a “C” or better and meet the credit requirements corresponding to their years enrolled in high school.
Students who have completed two years of full-time enrollment in an approved high school curriculum and meet the corresponding credit requirements. (Incoming juniors)
Current Level 1 students enrolled at the Tolles campus applying to a new Program, are passing their current program, and meet credit requirements corresponding to their years enrolled in high school.
Students who have completed three years of full-time enrollment in an approved high school curriculum and meet the corresponding credit requirements. (Incoming seniors)
