Intradistrict Transfers

What is an Intradistrict Transfer?

An Intradistrict Transfer allows students residing within the Campbell Union High School District (CUHSD) boundaries to apply to attend a different CUHSD school other than their designated home school.

Getting Started

Designated Home School: Use the School Locator (opens in new tab) to determine your resident school.
Enrollment for New Residents: New residents must enroll in their home school before submitting a transfer application. Visit our Enrollment Page.

Gather Information/Documentation: If your student qualifies for one of the priority considerations noted in Board Policy 5116.1, you must include information about that and any required accompanying documentation in your initial application.

Process & Decisions

Decision: At the end of the application window, all applications will be reviewed and decisions made as explained in Board Policy 5116.1 and Administrative Regulation 5116.1.
Notification: You will receive an email with the decision in mid-to-late April. Denials are typically due to lack of capacity at the requested site.
Waitlist & Expiration: Unapproved requests will be entered into a lottery to establish waitlist positions. All waitlists will expire at the end of September.
Reversal: To return to your original resident school after an approval, you must submit a new request marked as a "Reversal."

Important Policy Notes

Withdrawal: Withdrawing from the district nullifies the transfer; a new request is required upon return.
Transportation: Per Board Policy 5116.1, the district is not obligated to provide transportation for students attending school outside their attendance area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit an Interdistrict Transfer request for more than one school site?

I think my address allows me to transfer between Branham/Leigh based on my preference. How do I initiate this transfer?

All Intradistrict Transfer requests follow the same application process and timeline. The designated areas in both Branham and Leigh's attendance area that qualify students for priority consideration are noted on the School Locator. After the priority considerations are applied in accordance with Board Policy 5116.1, priority consideration for any remaining spaces at Branham or Leigh shall be granted to applicants who live in the designated areas and have noted that on their application.

*These transfers, like all others, are not guaranteed to be approved

What are the chances of my Intradistrict Transfer request getting approved?

This question is impossible to answer with any certainty. We follow the process outlined in Policy and Regulation annually, but circumstances change every cycle. If your student qualifies for one of the priority considerations explained in Board Policy 5116.1 be sure to include any and all related information and documentation in your original Intradistrict Transfer request. This improves your chances, but an approval is still not guaranteed. Every year, our schools end up with waitlists that are often not exhausted. You should assume that your student will attend their home school unless and until you hear otherwise.

I submitted a transfer request and am waiting for a decision. Can my student participate in tryouts, auditions, etc. at the requested school?

Students may only participate in extracurricular activities, athletics and course selection at the school where they are pre-enrolled. Unless and until your transfer request is approved, that is your home school based on your home address.

No school site shall hold any selection events prior to April 20 for the next year; this allows decisions to be sent to families before such participation is required.

I put in a request for a transfer and I’m getting emails from my home school; does that mean my request was denied? What do I do?

High school attendance is determined by your home address, and your student will remain enrolled at their home school unless the transfer request is approved in the Spring. Until then, continue participating in your home school's parent night, class selection processes, and Aeries Student Account login process. Once placements are finalized, all information will transfer with your student to the assigned school.

I submitted a transfer request, when will I find out if it has been approved?

My Intradistrict Transfer has been approved, what is the next step?

We live within the CUHSD boundary lines but are considering moving. Can my student stay at their current school?
