How will I be notified if my petition is incomplete?

Candidates with incomplete petitions will receive an email to their DCCC email account requesting them to log back into their online portal to correct errors. If you receive an incomplete notification, act immediately by following the detailed directions in the notification you receive. It is important for you to follow the directions properly. Failure to properly follow the directions in the email will result in a continual incomplete petition status that could exceed the deadline if not corrected by the petitioning deadline. Only the petitions with all completed documentation and requirements will be considered complete and will be reviewed for program consideration.

If I need to resubmit my petition, will my original submission date be considered?

No, the date in which you resubmit when all errors have been corrected, will be your petitioning date. Given the program may fill quickly, it is important for you to ensure that you are submitting all appropriate documents when you first petition.

How are candidates scored?

Candidate that submit a correct and complete petition will be scored based on their rubric score. Available seats will be awarded to those with the highest overall rubric score. If all seats have been awarded, qualifying candidates will be placed on a temporary waitlist in order of their rubric score. Submitting a petition or being offered a waitlist position does not guarantee a seat in the program.
