Acceptance to IA Macomb

Students qualify for admission based on completion of the application process, academic records and placement test results.

Each district gets a specific number of seats at the IAM.  If student interest exceeds available space, enrollment will be determined by both lottery and the testing results.  Local districts will notify applicants of the date/place/time of the lottery and lottery results.

Parent Notification Letters Regarding Student Applicant Status When scoring of the IAM Admission Tests is completed, the following notifications will be made:

• Parents will be notified if their student does not qualify for the IAM.
    
• Parents will be notified if their student qualifies but needs additional assistance prior to the start of the school year.
    
• Parents will be notified if their student qualifies and the number of district applicants does not exceed the district allocation. The notification letter will request a payment to cover the technology laboratory fee. Payment of this fee will reserve a student seat for the upcoming school year.

Parents of students who qualify in a district that exceeds its seat allocation will not be notified by the IAM. The district will inform parents as to the date, time and location of the IAM lottery. Based upon lottery results, parents of students who fall within the number of allocated district seats will receive a letter of acceptance from the IAM with fee information to reserve a seat for the upcoming school year.

Parents of students who are placed on the Waitlist will be notified as openings become available.
