Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021. Students who enroll during this enrollment session will begin school the following school year (in the fall of 2022). 

Visit the SchoolMint Online Enrollment System page to complete and submit an application for each child you are enrolling. 

No. Since the enrollment form is online, you can complete it at home or anywhere else where you have access to the Internet. 

No. You will not need to turn in your required paperwork and records until after you have received an offer from your selected campus and have accepted it. At that time you will be able to begin the registration through the SchoolMint Online Enrollment System. 

Unfortunately, we no longer use paper. Please contact us through the support methods listed on the website, if you have any issues completing our application online.

Yes. The form, however, will ask you to select the grade and school (or schools) you wish to attend. This information will be selected within Choose Preferred Schools section in the application for each child. You can select more than one school within an application, so you will not need to complete more than one application if you wish to request a seat at multiple schools. 

You must receive an offer from the campus of your choice to know that you have a seat reserved. When completing the application, you will be able to request a seat at your desired campus (or campuses). Once your application has been submitted, the campus will be able to see your request. The campus will make offers to applications in the order in which they were received. Offers will be made within three business days of submission of the application. Please note that, even after you successfully receive and accept an offer, your seat can still be lost, if you do not complete the remaining steps in the enrollment process (online Advisement and registration).

If you are enrolling two different students at two different campuses, you can use the same family profile, but you will need to create two different student profiles (and applications) - one for each child. You will need to select the desired school or schools for each child within each application and submit the application in order to request a seat.

Within the family profile, student profile and application, you will only need basic information, such as address, phone numbers, parent/guardian and basic education information, including grade level and school to which you are applying. You will also need a valid e-mail address or mobile phone number. If you do not have an e-mail address, you can create a free account at www.gmail.com.

You will be asked to complete Registration forms through SchoolMint once you have accepted an offer from a campus. This will require submission of more detailed information. 

The requirements to enroll include: You must: 1) live in Cameron, Hidalgo or Willacy County; 2) be promoted to the grade to which you are applying; and 3) complete the Registration packet through SchoolMint and turn in any other required information to the campus.
 

Enrollment closes when a school reaches its capacity. STISD enrollment operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and offers are made on applications in the order in which they are received. It can be a matter of hours, or even minutes, for the campus to receive the number of applications it needs to fill available spots, so it is best to enroll (request a seat reservation) as early as possible after the start time. All applications will automatically be assigned to a wait list for the campus, and seats will be offered to those who applied earliest (in the order submitted), as long as seats are available.

Even after the campus has extended offers to fill its available seats, you may still be able to request a seat at a particular campus. If the system allows you to select the grade and school you want, you may have an opportunity for a seat, or you could be added to a waitlist for further consideration, should offers fall through. You can always check with individual campuses to see if they are still accepting applications as well.

Once you submit your application with a seat request (or seat requests), the campus will be able to see your application in the system. Campuses will make offers to applications in the order in which they were received. Offers will be made within three business days of submission of the application. Once an offer is made to you, you will then need to log back in to SchoolMint to accept the offer and begin the Registration packet.

Please note that, even after you successfully receive and accept an offer, your seat can still be lost, if you do not complete the remaining steps in the enrollment process (online Advisement and registration).

Please call our Technology Department at 956-514-0752 if you experience technical difficulties. Be sure to call and be sure to hold on the line (if necessary).

Unfortunately, only current 6th and 7th graders can enroll within STISD middle schools. We wish you would have enrolled with us when you were still in the 7th grade! However, you can enroll at an STISD high school and begin the 9th grade with us.

As a current 10th grader, you are still eligible to enroll at our South Texas ISD Health Professions campus in Mercedes and our South Texas ISD World Scholars campus in Edinburg, where you would be able to participate in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. Unfortunately, students are not able to join our other high schools after the sophomore year.

You can request a seat at more than one STISD campus within your application, and you can receive seat offers from more than one STISD campus. However, you can only accept one offer, and you must do so within two weeks of receiving the offer; otherwise, your offer will be rescinded by the campus. Accepting an offer from one campus will withdraw/decline your offers from all other campuses, so you want to be sure that you make the choice carefully. 

You will need to do a little homework to make up your mind. Visit the district's Academics page or watch our STISD Virtual Tour to learn more about the schools.

It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the most recent version of Internet Explorer or Firefox to achieve the best results.

Absolutely. You are only required to enter one parent/guardian.

You can visit the SchoolMint Online Enrollment System website directly. For additional information regarding the schedule for enrollment, visit the district's Admissions-Apply page. 

Within the new enrollment system, there are waitlists. You will be able to request a seat from more than one campus within your application, and will receive offers or waitlist assignments based upon where your application falls within the requests. You can only accept one offer, however, so you will need to decide whether to wait for a seat to open up for your desired campus, if waitlisted, or to accept an offer from one of the other campuses, if available. 

If you are having problems enrolling and are unable to reach the Technology Department, you can call your selected campus and explain the situation. Someone at the campus will be able to assist you with reaching the Technology team or other appropriate office or help you resolve your issue. For STISD campus contact information, visit the district's Admissions-Apply page.

Yes. If you did not receive any information confirming your enrollment form submission, you can reach out to your campus of interest. For contact information, visit the district's Contact Us page.
