Admissions Process

Northern United – Humboldt Charter School is nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, and all other operations, and will not charge tuition or discriminate against any student based upon any of the characteristics listed in Education Code Section 220.

NU-Humboldt Charter School will admit all pupils who wish to attend the school. No test or assessment will be administered to students prior to acceptance and enrollment into NU-Humboldt. The school will comply with all laws establishing minimum and maximum age for public school attendance in charter schools. Admission, except in the case of a public random drawing, will not be determined by the place of residence of the pupil or his or her parent or legal guardian within the state, unless required by Education Code Section 51747.3.

Public Random Drawing
Applications will be accepted during a publicly advertised open enrollment period each year for enrollment in the following school year. Following the open enrollment period each year, applications will be counted to determine whether any grade level has received more applications than availability. In the event that this happens, the Charter School will hold a public random drawing (or “lottery”) to determine admission for the impacted grade level, with the exception of existing students, who are guaranteed admission in the following school year. Admission preferences in the case of a public random drawing will be given to the following students in the following order:
1. Siblings of enrolled Students
2. Students who reside in the county
3. All other students
Please note: Homeless and Foster youth are not subject to the lottery process in the same way.  In the event that a program is full, they move to the top of the waiting list.

At the conclusion of the public random drawing, all students who were not granted admission due to capacity will be given the option to put their name on a wait list according to their draw in the lottery. This wait list will allow students the option of enrollment in the case of an opening during the current school year. In no circumstance will a wait list carry over to the following school year.

Public random drawing rules, deadlines, dates and times will be communicated in the application form and on the Charter School’s website. Public notice for the date and time of the public random drawing will also be posted once the application deadline has passed. The Charter School will also inform all applicants and interested parties of the rules to be followed during the public random drawing process via mail or email at least two weeks prior to the lottery date.

Northern United – Humboldt Charter School will conduct the lottery in the spring for enrollment in fall of that year.

Parent/Student Compacts

Before enrollment, parent/student compacts must be signed by all parents and students indicating they understand the charter school outcomes, philosophy, program, and requirements. Students’ continued enrollment will be dependent upon fulfilling the terms of that compact.
