Running a "No Priority" Lottery

Why would I run a "No Priority" Lottery?

If you do not use priorities, preferences, or placement rules to make offers to applicants, or if you have more seats than you have applicants, you may not be accustomed to running an actual lottery. 

In Enroll, applications need to be processed through a lottery in order to make offers. 

Follow the steps below to create a “No Priority” priority and lottery design for this scenario:

1. The most common criteria for a "No Priority" priority is to have it automatically assigned to ALL students who are eligible to be included in the lottery.
2. From Settings > Manage Lotteries > Lottery Priorities, use the rules engine to configure the logic as application.status is 1 (value assigned when the application is marked as eligible).
3. Example:

4.  From Settings > Manage Lotteries > Lottery Designs, use the "Add New Lottery" button to create a lottery design that uses only the "No Priority" priority. 

5. Attach the lottery design to the necessary program(s) (individually or in bulk) under Settings > Schools/Programs > Manage Programs > Edit > Lottery Settings.
