APPLICATION PROCESS

The on-time application for the 2022-2023 school year will be released on September 13th and will end on January 11th at 3pm. The application will be available at: magnet.ccsd.net/apply. On-time applications will be processed first, before moving on to late applications which will be collected after the January 11th deadline. Late applicants will only be contacted if they have been selected for a vacant seat in the late application lottery.

Applicants may choose up to 3 different Magnet/CTA schools/programs and place them in 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice order. Only online applications are accepted. Once submitted online, an email confirmation will be sent. If changes need to be made to the application after submission, the applicant will be able to do so by logging back into the application database.

QUALIFICATIONS

Parents of interested students must submit an application online by the designated application deadline. If there are more applications than there are seats available, a computerized random lottery will be used to select students.

High school magnet programs are designated as either interest-based or STEM-based. All STEM-based programs require students to qualify for the program before entering the lottery for admission. Southeast Tech’s programs are broken down below as either interest-based or STEM-based.

All Programs

Report cards will be used from the student’s first semester of the 2019-2020 school year. No report cards are required if the student has applied to only interest-based programs. CCSD students do not need to submit a report card as report cards will be uploaded directly from Infinite Campus.

Any applicant who currently attends a charter, private or other non-CCSD school must submit a copy of their 2019 first trimester or first semester report card by the application deadline, January 7th at 3 p.m. Qualification information was updated in August 2019 in the Magnet Office of CCSD.

NOTES

**Please be aware of Southeast Tech’s transportation boundaries. Transportation WILL NOT be provided to students who live outside the transportation zone.

SELECTION PROCESS

Students are selected for enrollment at Southeast Tech through a computerized, random selection process (the “lottery”). Results of the lottery will be made available in the online application portal.

Lottery outcomes:

Not qualified (Student did not qualify to go through the lottery process)
Selected (Student was selected and must now decide if he/she wishes to accept the seat)
Alternate pool (Student qualified and is now waiting for a vacancy as other students are going through the acceptance process and seats become available)

After selection, the applicant must accept the seat for which he/she has been selected. Any applicants not selected during this initial lottery are placed into an alternate pool. Should a student choose not to attend after being selected for a Magnet/CTA seat, the vacant seat will be assigned to a student in the alternate pool, through a computerized, random selection prior to the end of the second week of each school year.

For more information about the selection process and preferences given to applications, please visit magnet.ccsd.net.

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation is only given to students within the transportation zone. It is important that students/parents check the transportation site to see if the home address is located within the boundaries.

Students who live outside of the transportation zone can still attend Southeast Tech but must provide their own transportation to campus. If you have further questions regarding transportation, please direct them to the CCSD Transportation Department at 702-799-8111.
