New School Registration

 

Register with K12 Programs

Welcome to K12 Programs administered by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (SEAA). Schools must complete the following required steps to register as a new participating Nonpublic School:

Step 1 – Register Your School with DNPE

Register with the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education (DNPE)as a private school.

Step 2 – Submit a New School Signup Request with SEAA

Visit the New School Signup Request page to request participation with the K12 Programs.

Step 3 – Complete Background Check

Click here to order a national criminal background check to be sent to SEAA. The statute that governs the K12 Programs requires that a national criminal background check be executed for the staff member who has the highest decision-making authority (HDMA) at your school.

Step 4 – Register with MyPortal

Once your school receives initial approval from SEAA, you will receive an email with your username and temporary password for MyPortal. MyPortal is the account management system used by schools that participate in K12 programs. Log into MyPortal to update your password and submit your remaining registration documents.  Visit the Registration Checklist page for a full list of registration requirements and blank copies of the required documents.  For more information see instructions for uploading documents to MyPortal.
