There are three kinds of transfers: intra-district transfer and inter-district transfer, both incoming and outgoing. Please read each section to ensure you choose the correct transfer option for your student.
Intra-District Transfer
Intra-District Transfer- Request to transfer from one AUSD school to another AUSD school.
Intra-district Transfer Application, AR 5116.1 This form should be completed by families who wish to transfer out of the school their child is currently attending or is assigned to attend. Please note that Intra-district Transfers are approved based on space availability, in priority order, in sequential order received, as well as attendance and grades. Attendance (10 or less tardies, no unexcused absences, or truancy issues), grades (2.0 or above), and citizenship will be satisfactory.
Intra-district Transfers are not considered until late August of the coming school year when enrollment numbers at schools can be confirmed. If a transfer is approved, student services will contact you via email and/or phone. Please note families are only contacted if/when transfers are approved.
This form is a request to transfer and is not an enrollment form.
Your student must either be enrolled with AUSD or have a scheduled enrollment appointment for the coming school year to be considered for a transfer to another AUSD school. If your student is not yet enrolled, please follow the enrollment steps on our website.
