Transcripts

If you attended a school in Tehachapi Unified School District at any time since 2000, your transcript may already be available on the district computer system. When you arrive to enroll in classes, the counselor can check your transcript on the computer.
If you are coming from another school district, in-state or out of state, please order your transcripts prior to enrolling. Make sure that your transcripts are delivered to yourself, or can be emailed to Program Manager McKenna Liebgott at mliebgott@tehachapiusd.com.
Some delays in obtaining transcripts may be unavoidable. When transcripts are received, previous high school credit earned will be evaluated and a schedule will be planned for each student.
Please contact McKenna Liebgott at mliebgott@tehachapiusd.com for the evaluation of foreign transcripts or any transcripts that needs evaluation. Additional time may be required for foreign transcript evaluation, residency, attendance, and graduation requirements.
