Viewing Transfer Status

To check the transfer status:

  • Go to Admin > Student Info > Inter-District Trans.

  • Then click on the sent icon to view the list of students whose records have been transferred to another school.

After this process is finished, the transferred student must be pulled into the new school. Please see PART III for full instructions.


Step 2: Administration at New School

The receiving school must complete the following steps and navigate to the section for inter-district transfers:

  1. Navigate to Admin > Student Info > Inter-District Transfers.

  2. Select the student by locating the "Retrieve Now" icon and clicking it to access the student's file. Alternatively, you can select multiple students at once and then click on "Transfer Selected Records" to retrieve their files simultaneously.

  3. Establish a teacher association and create the enrollment records directly on the screen.

  4. For high school students, carefully examine their transcript information and make any necessary adjustments to align with the graduation requirements of the new school.

    • Additionally, you can select the Graduation Type for each semester as needed.

    • If selecting a Graduation Type for each semester, ensure that you select them individually before assigning each category.

  5. Review the REG-Online Records section.
    1. If you wish to transfer the records, select "Yes, transfer these records."
    2. If the records show an associated Reg Online Household with the same email address, the option to retrieve the Reg Online data will not be available.
Once all steps above are completed, select the option to transfer the student. The student will now be officially enrolled in the new school.
    • Please note that you will need to recreate any classes and master agreements in the new school.
