Headcount reflects the number of individual students. Full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments capture proportional course-taking activity of full- and part-time students. FTE is calculated for undergraduates as credits divided by 15, for graduate students as credits divided by 12, for PhD students as credits divided by 7, and for pharmacy and law students as credits divided by 15. Medical and veterinary medicine students are each considered one FTE.
Round one offers from schools that were not accepted were rolled to the school's second round waitlist. Round two offers will be emailed to the parents email address used in Open Enrollment. Please check your email inbox and/or spam folder weekly. Schools fill seats as they become available by grade in the order the student is on that school's waitlist. Offers of enrollment are not guaranteed and are based on space available.
First Round Open Enrollment is not first come. First Round is now closed for the 24/25 school year (as of December 1, 2023 at 4:00pm MT). Schools extended offers of open enrollment based on space availability by December 7th. Parents saw offers in the EngagED Parent Portal on December 11th at 8:00am and had until December 18th at 4:00 pm to accept any open enrollment offers. In the event you did not receive any offers during First Round, you will remain on a waitlist for Second Round of Open Enrollment, which opened January 22nd at 8:00am.

The first round window is open from November 1 to December 1. The second window is open from January 22 to August 1. Open Enrollment applies to the following school year.
Applications filed with the district in the first window will be notified of the results (application accepted, denied, or put on the annual prioritized list) by December 11th. Parents must then go in and accept any open enrollment offers made by schools by December 17th. Applicants not accepted during the first Open Enrollment period are automatically placed on the annual prioritized list and shall have priority over second round applicants.
Where the number of eligible applicants exceeds the space available in a school, applications are prioritized by grade level according to the priorities set forth in district policy. The annual prioritized list is purged on October 1 of each year.
Applications filed with the district in the first window will be notified of the result through the open enrollment tool. Applications submitted during round 2 may receive notification through the open enrollment tool as well as an email at any time between January 22nd and August 1st depending on space availability at that school.
Most Charter schools are a bit different, in that each charter school may maintain a wait list per grade, depending on the space available, and conducts a lottery each year for available seats. The Open Enrollment time frames also apply to charter schools, but each charter has its own enrollment policy. Contact the charter school directly for more enrollment and lottery information, with the exception of Sky View Academy, Aspen View Academy, Douglas County Montessori, Challenge to Excellence, Ben Franklin Academy, Leman Academy, STEM, and World Compass Academy, as they are all using the open enrollment tool this year.
