How to Enroll in Online School in California

The California Department of Health & Human Services requires certain vaccines for all students. See their documentation for the requirements. 

You can compare the student’s immunization record to California's immunization record requirements.

Immunizations can be obtained from doctor’s offices, clinics or hospitals. Pediatricians and family doctors or their nurses or medical assistants can give your student the shots they need to meet the requirements for school enrollment. In addition, some large chain pharmacies offer immunizations for older children and adults.

Student immunization records can also be accessed via the California State Immunization Information System.

If you need assistance paying for shots/vaccinations, you may be able to get free or reduced immunizations through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program.

VFC is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of an inability to pay. Children who are eligible for VFC vaccines are entitled to receive pediatric vaccines that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends.

A student may be exempt from immunizations for medical reasons, religious beliefs or personal reasons. All exemptions require a signature and date. Letters must be submitted each year.

Please see the California Department of Health and Human Services website for details around exemptions. 

Students enrolling at Taylion Academy must provide academic records for proper placement.

Required documentation:

• Unofficial transcript: The transcript should include complete end-of-year grades from the prior school year.
• Current academic documentation: This may include a progress report, interim report, class schedule or marking period/semester report card. Additional documentation may be requested for placement.

• Student name
• Grade level
• School year (e.g., 2024-25)
• School name
• Grading scale (e.g., 90-100% = A)
• Credits earned

Taylion Academy can assist in obtaining transcripts from previous schools once the student is enrolled.

Contact your student's previous school and request the document, providing them with the information outlined above, or contact your school's district office with the request.

If you still can’t obtain your student's report card or transcript after attempting these steps, please contact the academic placement services team at (760) 951-5501 to discuss acceptable alternatives.

If your children are currently homeschooled, please complete the prior academic history form available to you in the enrollment portal. This form indicates what courses the student completed through a homeschool curriculum.

You may need to provide additional documentation if your or your student’s legal guardianship is determined by a court order. If this is the case, please submit a copy of the order in your enrollment portal.
