FAQ
My contract was approved. Why does it now say “Waitlist”?
If you received an email confirming your child’s contract was approved, and now see the word “Waitlist” on your contract, don’t panic! When a program goes on a waitlist, our registrar makes “Waitlist” part of the program’s name (ie: Newby – Waitlist) so new enrollees who see the name of the program know that the program is on a waitlist. Therefore, the program (not the child) is on a waitlist. We apologize for any confusion this may cause.
Why is my student still on a waitlist?
If the program you are trying to enroll in is on a waitlist, your registration was automatically placed on the waitlist when you submitted your registration. You will be notified by email when the waitlist is lifted, and asked if you would still like your registration processed. The program was placed on a waitlist due to a significant staffing shortage, and cannot be lifted until we are able to hire additional staff, therefore there is no way to know when the waitlist will be lifted. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 317-283-3817, ext. 123 or info@ayskids.org.
