Click the below buttons for more information regarding transfers. When available, applications for each campus with available capacity will be linked below in the "Start Here" section. For questions or more information, please check our Frequently Asked Questions, or email Student Transfers at gcisd.student.transfers@gcisd.net.

What to KNOW

You must upload ALL documents (latest report card, residency verification, 504 or ARD documents, etc.) with your application. You will not be able to submit your application without them.
Please complete an application for each student you wish to request to transfer.
If you were approved on a transfer and your student is either transitioning from Pre-K to Kinder, elementary to middle, or middle to high, then ALL families, including employees, must apply for a transfer if not requesting a campus you are already zoned for.
ALL students new to GCISD (including employee students) must submit the latest report cards with attendance and behavior and state testing scores.
Current proof of residency verification is required for all students.
All students who completed Pre-K MUST apply for a transfer for the following year IF you would like to attend a different campus than your zoned campus. Placement on a campus for Pre-K does not guarantee placement on the campus for grades K-5.
Email notifications of placement will be sent out as students are placed. Please keep in mind that some notifications may not be sent until August but no later than the day prior to the first day of school.
Because approvals may not be made until dates closer to the start of school, please know that requesting a transfer may delay such items as class schedule completion including extracurricular activities.

DOs

Gather all your documents! You will need to have and upload ALL documents before you can submit your transfer request and you will be unable to save and return to the application.
Please check the zoned attendance map to ensure you are not requesting a campus you are already zoned for.

DON'Ts

If you are applying for a Personalized Program (STEM, Dual Language or ASPIRE Academy) please do NOT complete a student transfer request form.
If you have NOT moved and your student was originally approved on a transfer, you do not need to apply for a transfer again until they transition to either a middle or high school campus.
