Military-connected students who enroll as rising juniors or seniors as a result of transferring due to a parent or guardian's permanent change of duty station (PCS) on official orders after the last Thursday in February of their 10th grade year will be provided with an opportunity to complete the enrollment process for programs at CTA. If space in a program is not available at the time of the student's enrollment, the student will be given priority consideration on the waitlist for openings if they occur. Rising seniors can be considered for Level I seats (if they do not have prior experience in a program area) if enrolling in the class does not negatively impact their ability to graduate on time. Students who have previously participated in the same or similar programs will be placed in programs as appropriate to their previous level of completion without a further enrollment process. Military-connected rising juniors or seniors should begin the process with CTA enrollment in their comprehensive high schools and school counselors will assist further with CTA program enrollment options.
