Yes, you may notify us via email with your request to change your campus choice. If you switch between two waitlists, you are placed at the end of the waitlist of the campus to which you switched. In other words, you cannot switch between waitlists and keep the same place number – you leave one line to walk to the end of the other.

Because the waitlist is first-come, first-served, it operates like standing in line for checkout at a store. You must naturally reach the front of the line. We trust you joined the waitlist because of a strong desire to participate. We value that trust and pledge to diligently work toward your admission. We appreciate your interest and kindly request you not send emails of continued interest, inquiries of current status, letters of recommendation, etc, as we cannot take any action on those.

You are welcome to stay on our waitlist as long as you prefer, and you may notify us if you wish to be removed from the waitlist at any time. We will continue to offer available spaces through late May / early June – as late as reasonably possible. There is no financial cost to be on the waitlist. If it becomes clear that no spaces will become available or the program is too near, we may release the waitlist and conclude any further admissions for the summer.

This depends on the number of spaces that become available due to withdrawals. When an admitted participant withdraws, we immediately offer that space to the next person on the waitlist. Throughout the spring as other important enrollment deadlines pass, admitted participants who do not complete certain requirements forfeit their space, which we then offer to the next person on the waitlist. Lastly, someone ahead of you on the waitlist may also withdraw, which advances your place. Though uncommon, we may face an exceptional circumstance that necessitates admitting someone currently placed after you on the waitlist. (Note that we will not [...]

Your place on the waitlist is indicated on the Home tab of your myStatus Portal. The higher the number, the more registrants there are in front of you waiting in line for a space. (Example: If your place is 10, then 10 spaces must become available in order to offer you admission to the program – one each for those waiting ahead of you, and then yours.)

Spaces in the program fill on a first-come, first-served basis. When a campus reaches capacity, we still accept sign-ups for that campus, and we place them on a waitlist – also in order of first-come, first-served.

Registration is the second step in the enrollment process. Once a Scholar has obtained a guaranteed space in the program (completed sign-up form and submitted enrollment deposit), they will be able to move forward with registration. Registration gathers additional information that we only need from those who have a guaranteed space - things like health and medical data, t-shirt size, emergency contacts and more. Your final cost of attendance is also calculated during the registration process, taking into consideration any additional services to which you've subscribed (like extended day) or whether you've received a tuition assistance award.

Those who are eligible for the program - whether new or returning - are sent an invitation to sign-up. Sign-up is the first step in the enrollment process, where invitees claim either a guaranteed space in the program or a place on the waitlist for one of our campuses. We stage invitations for the program in two waves typically during January. Scholars eligible to return to DECATS have guaranteed space for two weeks until invitations are sent to first-time attendees, at which point all spaces are first-come, first-served until campuses reach capacity. To claim a guaranteed space in the program, [...]
