  - Born outside the U.S. - must provide certified copy of birth certificate within 90 days from enrollment
  - If a certified copy of birth certificate is not produced in the time frame above, other acceptable proof of the child’s identity and age (see “Provide proof of identity and age using the following” list above) will need to be produced in this same time period. In Addition, a signed note explaining why a certified copy of a birth certificate was unable to be produced will need to be provided by the person enrolling the student.

Official birth certificates may be obtained by calling the state health department in the state where your child was born. In Texas, you may order a birth certificate online from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, or call the office in Austin at 512-458-7111. Please allow sufficient time for your request to be processed.

High school students, for immediate enrollment, please bring your previous school withdrawal form, last report card or transcript showing all credits earned to assist in course placement. Records are requested through TREx; however, it may take up to 10 days to receive your records.

If you live with another family, do not have one of the documents listed, or have questions about the documents requested, please contact your school registrar for assistance. School phone numbers are listed on each school’s website.
