  • Application (Google Form)

Does completing the intra-district transfer application process guarantee my transfer request?

• No. Intra-district transfers are granted based on space availability at the requested grade level in a school, with priority going to neighborhood students within a school attendance zone.

Are intra-district transfers granted on a first come, first served basis?

• No. Following the April 11, 2025 intra-district transfer application deadline, all applications received are processed.  

How does the district process intra-district transfer applications?

• Space Availability
  • Availability per school and grade level is determined.
• Application
  • Applications go through a 2-step sorting process:
    • STEP 1 – Applications are sorted based on the requested school and grade level
    • STEP 2 – Applications are then sorted based on a “sibling priority” which gives school and grade level preference to students with a sibling currently enrolled in the school where the parent is requesting an intra-district transfer for a sibling.    
• Granting Intra-District Transfers
  • Intra-district transfers are granted based on space availability at a school and grade level. 
  • If the number of requests exceeds the number of available spaces in a school at a particular grade level, a random computerized selection process is used.  

Please contact the Registration Office at 216-371-7430 or chuhreg@chuh.org with questions.
