The 2015-16 General Choice Transfer period for all students in Shelby County has been extended through Friday, April 17, 2015. The General Choice Transfer process allows parents to choose a school in the District with available space that best fits their child’s educational needs.

NOTE: The General Choice Transfer process is NOT the same as the Optional Schools application process. Optional Schools have specific academic criteria for admissions and a separate application period.

Online Application Process: The General Choice Transfer process is completely online to afford the most opportunities for students and families in Shelby County. No paper applications will be printed or accepted. Rather than lining up at the Board of Education, parents can easily complete and submit an application from any personal computer with Internet access or smartphone that supports online forms. General Choice Transfer requests are considered based on the order that they are received and according to priority considerations outlined in the School Admissions policy (#6002). All applications will be electronically stamped with a date and time as they are submitted online.

No Personal Internet Access? The Student Services Office, located at 2800 Grays Creek in Arlington, is open during business hours throughout the application period. Parents may also schedule a time at their current or neighborhood school to use a computer or consider public libraries, community centers, churches, etc. that have free public Internet access.

Transfer Priority & Enrollment Spaces: The District’s School Admissions policy (#6002) outlines priority considerations for General Choice Transfer requests. A list of schools with available enrollment spaces will be posted online prior to the start of the application process.

NOTE: Students on an existing General Choice Transfer at a school that will be part of SCS in 2014-15 are approved through the exit grade of the current school and do NOT have to re-apply.
