How students are added to the Waitlist page
Auto-Waitlist
The Auto-Waitlist feature can be enabled through the Grades page. When it's turned on for a grade, if a student applies to that grade, they will automatically be added to the waitlist.
Lottery
If your school utilizes the lottery feature, students who are not accepted when a lottery is run will be auto-waitlisted and will appear on this waitlist page.
Admin Entered Applications
If you internally submit an application for a student in a grade set to Auto-Waitlist, the student will automatically be added to the waitlists page.
Manual Status Update
If you manually update a student's status to Waitlisted, they will also appear on the Waitlists page.
