You should complete a new online registration application if you are registering a brand new student to MECHS and have never completed online registration before, if you are a student who has turned 18 and is self-registering for the first time, or if your student has a new parent or legal guardian registering him or her.

**Refusal to Provide a Social Security Number for Student Identification

Georgia law (20-2-0150) requires public school authorities to request from parents and guardians the Social Security number for students being enrolled in school. The Social Security number is to be incorporated into the official school record for the student. No student will be denied enrollment in a public school for declining to provide his or her Social Security number or for declining to apply for such a number. If a parent will not provide the student’s SSN, a generic SSN is assigned from our pool of state-assigned SSN. HOPE Scholarship Local Education Agencies (LEA) submit student transcript data to the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC) beginning when the student is in 9th grade. Student transcripts submitted without SSN are not eligible to receive HOPE Scholarship.

How to Enroll a Credit Recovery Student

Students who are 9th grade eligible may enroll in Mountain Education Charter High School (MECHS).

To register, credit recovery students need:

• a Counselor Recommendation Form completed by the student's regular high school
• social security number

Students who are jointly enrolled with a regular day school program will pay the following tuition costs:

• one-half Carnegie unit $75*
• one Carnegie unit (block) $150*

*Tuition costs may vary based on the school district in which the student is enrolled full time. 

Students are encouraged to pay the required tuition at the time of registration. Tuition may be paid online via the mymec.org website by selecting "Online Payment" at the top of the screen. Tuition can also be paid with a money order, certified check, cash, or a personal check. If needed, a payment plan may be arranged.

If tuition is paid by personal check, course completion transcripts will not be forwarded to the daytime high school until the bank has notified MECHS the check has cleared (usually 21-30 days).

Note: Tuition charges during summer school for students who are jointly enrolled with a regular day school program vary and depend on the district in which the student is enrolled.
