There are several types of Student Transfers available for your consideration. Please take the time to review each section to determine which request(s) meet your needs. Criteria for each transfer request are different and may have different closing dates.

You will need to know your student's Clayton County Public School's identification number before applying. This will require you to enroll your student in the school he/she is zoned to attend unless he/she is already enrolled. After that, you may only apply one time for each student, so please make sure you have chosen all appropriate transfer types and have completed all fields required before submitting your request. Once submitted, you will no longer have access to change or add any information.

You will receive a confirmation number for reference purposes only. This number does not in any way indicate a decision of approval or denial. For your convenience, we have provided a list of locations, dates and times the school system will make computers and scanners available to the community to assist with this application process.
