Official status notice

Every status issued through this application (accepted, waitlisted, or denied) is official when it is released on March 22 at 8:00 a.m. To be considered for a magnet seat, you must (1) submit this application and (2) complete the Muscogee County School District Online Registration (OLR) for the 2027–2028 school year, with all required documents uploaded, by February 5 at 11:59 p.m. Your Magnet Application Number will be used to match this application with your student's MCSD Online Registration. You will be required to enter it in your OLR. Do not apply with multiple email addresses for a single student. Use one, commonly checked parent/guardian email address. All communication regarding your application will be sent automatically by email via this Online Application Portal. By completing this process including Online Registration, you grant permission for schools to send a Records Request to your previous academic institution(s) if you are not currently enrolled in the Muscogee County School District.

Your 72-hour decision window

You have 72 hours (3 consecutive days) from the time your acceptance posts to accept or decline an offered seat (acceptance) in this portal. Your 72 hours start when your offer posts, which may be March 22 at 8:00 a.m. or any later day while the offer season is open. The time runs continuously for each calendar day, including weekends and holidays. If you do not respond within 72 hours (3 days), or if you decline, your student will move to the bottom of that school's waitlist and the seat will be offered to the next student. Your student may receive another offer while the offer season is open (through March 31). You may hold only one accepted seat at a time.
