Transfer Guidelines
-
Before submitting a transfer request, review the Transfer Guidelines:
- In-District Transfer requests are granted through a lottery and not on a first come, first served basis.
- Requests must be submitted online.
- The Department of Campus Operations oversees the approving and/or denying of in-district transfer requests. Campuses will not distribute or accept transfer forms.
- Once approved, transfer students are able to complete every grade level available at the assigned school without renewing annually, if terms of the transfer agreement are upheld.
- Transfers are subject to revocation at the end of every semester based on attendance and behavior. In the case of revocation, parents and the student's home campus will be notified.
Bus transportation is not provided for transfer students. Families are responsible for arranging their student's transportation to and from school.
