Students accepted into the lottery will be given a maximum of five business days to make a decision on the offer. Accepted students must submit all online enrollment forms and registration paperwork by midnight on the 5th day.
If the offer is denied or not claimed by submitting the completed online forms within the five-day period, the seat will be offered to the first student on the waitlist.
Kindergarten students will complete all online enrollment forms and attend a Kindergarten screening. More information will be emailed to you if accepted.
If one child in a family receives an admissions offer, other siblings are not automatically included in the offer. Other family siblings will only receive an offer if their wait list number moves up to an offer for the grade they are applying for. If no offer is made, they will be considered “siblings” for the next year (after one child in the family is attending) and must apply to the sibling lottery for the following academic year.
Please note: Acceptance into the lottery and completion of enrollment forms and registration paperwork does not constitute enrollment. A student is not enrolled until they have met all requirements for enrollment (as determined solely by Union Academy), including but limited to proof of residency, completion of all courses by the first day of the Union Academy school year for the grade level he/she was accepted into, and other requirements as determined by Union Academy. Any student who does not meet these requirements will not be allowed to enroll.
In order to enroll, students accepting enrollment spots must meet grade level requirements for the grade they applied for and are accepted into. This also includes high school requirements with required credits for the grade level they applied for and are accepted into.
Enrollment: Once enrolled, students remain enrolled until a parent withdraws a student by contacting the UA main office. When a student withdraws, space becomes available in that grade and a call or email is placed to the next person on the waitlist.
The calls/emails continue until the position is filled or the 20th day of school passes. If a student is called close to the school starting or after school has started, students accepted into the lottery will be given a maximum of five business days to make a decision on the offer and start school as soon as possible once school has started.
Multiple Birth Siblings: Siblings with shared birth dates (twins, triplets, etc.) will be pulled in sequential order for all priority levels of the lottery. For example, when twins apply, our computer script identifies the twins prior to the lottery. If one is pulled as waitlist number 43, the other twin will be automatically numbered waitlist number 44. Then the random ordering of the names will continue. The same applies to acceptance. If one twin is pulled for acceptance, the other is automatically accepted, also.
