Form One Boarding School Online Enrollment Starts November 1

Once
a
placement
is
offered
by
one
school,
applicants
will
no
longer
be
eligible
to
apply
to
or
be
considered
by
other
schools
unless
they
decline
the
initial
offer.
Reads
the
circular
in
part:

The
electronic
platform
for
enrolling
Form
One
(1)
boarding
places
for
2025.
Parents/guardians
who
wish
to
send
their
children
to
boarding
schools
are
advised
to
start
applying
through
the
platform
(www.emap.co.zw)
with
effect
from
1
November
up
to
31
December
2024.

Each
applicant
will
be
allowed
to
make
a
maximum
of
5
active
applications
at
any
given
time.

An
applicant
who
has
been
offered
a
place
at
one
school
will
not
be
eligible
to
apply
or
be
considered
for
a
place
at
any
other
school
unless
the
offer
is
declined.

Successful
applicants
will
be
notified
through
short
message
service
(sms)
by
the
respective
School
Heads.

Parents/guardians
are,
however,
advised
that
there
are
limited
boarding
places
and
should
therefore
have
alternative
arrangements
to
avoid
challenges
if
a
boarding
place
is
not
secured.

Once
an
application
is
submitted
to
a
school,
it
may
display
one
of
the
following
statuses:

• Pending:
  This
  indicates
  that
  the
  application
  is
  still
  under
  consideration.
• Accepted:
  This
  means
  the
  applicant
  has
  been
  offered
  a
  place
  at
  the
  school.
• Processed:
  This
  status
  is
  assigned
  when
  a
  particular
  school
  accepts
  an
  application;
  all
  other
  outstanding
  applications
  will
  automatically
  change
  to
  “Processed.”
• Rejected:
  This
  indicates
  that
  the
  application
  was
  unsuccessful.

Mhike
added
that
if
an
applicant
declines
an
offer,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
same
offer
will
be
available
again,
as
the
system
independently
selects
successful
candidates.
