Priority Process Selection Criteria

Prioritization of the waitlist applications are based on the following criteria:

  • Siblings of children enrolled at the University Daycare facility are given the highest priority over other selection criteria; 
  • Applications are sorted into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd priority groups;
  • Applications are prioritized by date and time stamp of the initial application.

1st Priority

  • Each waitlist of Graduate Students, Undergraduate Students, and Faculty are allocated a specific number of childcare spaces for its members.
  • When a space becomes available, it will be offered to the next individual on the waitlist for the allocated priority group (e.g. the Undergraduate Student waitlist for a vacated Undergraduate Student space).
  • If no one is on the allocated waitlist, then the space will be filled from the general 1st priority group waitlist before offering the space to 2nd or 3rd priority applicants.

2nd Priority

  • Non-faculty employees will be offered the next available childcare space if the following conditions exist:
  • There is an available childcare space;
  • The waitlist for ALL 1st priority users is vacant.

3rd Priority

  • Non-University members will be offered the next available space if the following conditions exist:
  • There is an available childcare space;
  • The waitlist for ALL 1st priority users is vacant;
  • The waitlist for 2nd priority users is vacant.
