Each school is required to serve the students who live within its attendance boundaries before accepting students outside the boundaries. After residents are accommodated, any requests submitted will be processed on space available basis. 

Residents new to Tustin Unified School District may apply for a transfer after the transfer window has closed within two weeks of establishing a change of address with proof of residence.
