Pre-Enrollment / Waiting List
The main office maintains a pre-enrollment list, based on an application and fee received. This allows a family to express interest in the upcoming program year and/ or to place themselves on a waiting list for possible enrollment. This list is separated into two groups:
- OU affiliates (children of faculty, staff, students receive preference in enrollment)
- Community members
There is a yearly, non-refundable $15 dollar charge to have a child’s name put on Lowry's pre-enrollment list/waiting list. (this fee will be charged for each new program year).
This list is kept for full classes from September 1 through June 30 of a given program year for placement in the following program year.
