How are the daycare spaces allocated?

The initial 51 spaces in the daycare are allocated to 1st priority groups and will follow the daycare waitlist process and selection criteria.
 
Each of the 1st priority groups (Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students and Faculty) will be allocated a specific number of childcare spaces within the facility and each 1st priority group will have its own waitlist.  For example, if an undergraduate student childcare space becomes available then the individual at the top of the Undergraduate Student waitlist will be offered the childcare space. If there is no one on that waitlist, the position will be filled by the next individual on the 1st priority waitlist.
 
The 2nd priority group (children of University employees other than faculty) will be given access to the next available childcare space as long as the Undergraduate Student, Faculty and Graduate Students waitlists are vacant.  

The 3rd priority group will be given access to the childcare spaces when the 1st or 2nd priority group waitlists are all vacant.
