Frequently Asked Questions
If you move outside the CUHSD boundary lines, you must initiate an Interdistrict Transfer request from your new home school district for your student to remain at their current school. If you move within the CUHSD boundary lines but outside the current school boundary lines, you must initiate an  Intradistrict Transfer request. This requires a signed/dated Lease/Rental agreement or Close of Escrow document.
Any student residing outside CUHSD boundaries who wishes to attend a CUHSD high school must initiate an  Interdistrict Transfer request  with their home school district of residence. Use the  Santa Clara County Tax Assessors Public Portal  to find your home school district information. The home school district will handle the release and forward it to CUHSD for consideration. Notifications are typically sent in the Spring. Your student cannot complete class placement requests until the transfer is approved and placement confirmed. It is recommended to enroll your student in your home school of residence to ensure a smooth transition to high school.

High school attendance is based on your home residence address. The transfer process does not alter or change until the Spring once the placement decisions have been finalized. In the meantime, please proceed with attending your home school of residence parent night, class selection processes and Aeries Student Account login process. Once placements have been finalized, all information will transfer with your student to the school of attendance. 

*Parents are welcome to attend any school site parent nights in the interest of obtaining information.

High school attendance is based on your home residence address. CUHSD allows a limited number of transfers within the district (Intra) and from outside the district (Inter) if site capacity permits. These are reviewed annually based on site and program capacity. Please include a letter of reasoning with your transfer request.
The open window to submit requests is Dec 1-Jan 31 for Free Zone, Intradistrict and outgoing Interdistrict transfer requests. The open window for incoming Interdistrict transfer requests is Feb 1-Feb 28. ALL notifications will go out typically no later than April 15. Do not all or email the District Office for a status update until after April 15.
Please refer to the formal approval letter from the registrar for specific instructions on how to enroll your student. Reference forms for approved interdistrict transfer/non-resident families are available for review.
If you reside outside of the CUHSD boundary lines and your request for an Interdistrict Transfer is denied, AB 2826 imposes a timeline for parents to appeal a district's decision within 30 calendar days. Please visit the SCCOE Appeal process page. Please note that the appeal decision only applies for entry to CUHSD, not a specific school site.
