Online Registration (OLR) Tips

Use the following tips to make the online registration easier to complete:

Use one of the recommended browsers:
- Google Chrome is the preferred browser.
- Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari also work.
Online Registration (OLR) is a web form; it will time out. Do not leave unsaved sections for long periods of time.
Data field entry error messages (red thought bubbles) can be removed by clicking on them.
Gather all required information before beginning the Online Registration:
- Read through each of the tabbed sections below to see what kinds of residence, parent, emergency contact, and student information you will need.
  - Proof of residency requirements
- If possible, obtain scanned files of your student's birth certificate, student's immunization records, and family proof of residency.
Allow at least 3 - 5 business days for a new student's application to be processed.
- During high volume submission times such as School Choice, processing may take up to 10 business days.
- Please contact us at applicationsupport@guhsd.net or 619-956-4357 if you have not received a registration approval email after ten business days.
- Please keep these timelines in mind if you plan to participate in School Choice. We recommend submitting your registration at least three weeks before the School Choice Window closes.
