Student Transfer Renewal Applications Open February 15

FCPS accepts online student transfer applications for the upcoming school year from February 15 through June 1. 

 

A student transfer is valid for one year only.  FCPS notifies the enrolling parent by email in February if the student is eligible for student transfer renewal.  

After notification is received, if the student continues to meet the same student transfer criteria as indicated on the original student transfer application, the enrolling parent may submit an online student transfer renewal application, required documentation, and non-refundable application processing fee.

For students no longer meeting the same student transfer criteria, a new transfer request may be submitted beginning March 1.
