Student Priority

1. Students are placed into classes (whether for their initial placement or for a level or schedule change) on a first-come, first-served based on initial registration date. 

2. In August, MEF students register at the start of registration. They thus get priority in placement based on their early registration date. 

3. If/when an MEF student who registered in August needs to change schedule/level, they get priority based on their early registration date. 

4. When new MEF students register during the year (to replace MEF students who dropped), their priority is:

   • AFTER any currently attending student (MEF or non-MEF) who is needing to change schedule or level, and  

   • BEFORE any non-MEF NEW students
