    The Transfer Request process is necessary for any student who would like to attend a Santa Ana Unified school located outside their residence school boundary.

    While students traditionally attend the school assigned to their residential area, the Board of Education recognizes some families may wish to choose a different school. SAUSD has designated specific guidelines and application period for families to request a transfer. Transfer Requests are not first come, first served; Transfer Requests are processed through a random and unbiased manner. Once a school or grade reaches capacity, other sites may be offered. All decisions are FINAL.

    2024-2025 Open Enrollment Inter/Intra-District Transfer Request 

    What Kind of Transfer Request Do You Need? 

    INTRA-DISTRICT - Transfer Within SAUSD: Santa Ana Unified School District residents entering grades K-12 may submit a request to transfer to a school that is not their school of residence.  Use the SAUSD School Locator to confirm residence school. If you wish to enroll in your school of residence, DO NOT complete a transfer request. Contact your assigned school for enrollment information.

    INTER-DISTRICT - Transfer From Another School District: 

    Residents of other Orange County School Districts that wish to attend a SAUSD school for the 2024-2025 school year, or current SAUSD students residing outside of SAUSD boundaries in 5th or 8th grade that wish to continue attending Santa Ana Unified as they matriculate to a new school, require to submit a transfer request by clicking HERE and to provide an INTER-DISTRICT Transfer from their district of residence.  Current SAUSD students outside of grades 5th, or 8th grade living out of district need only to renew their interdistrict attendance permit through their district of residence.

If you live within SAUSD boundaries, you will receive priority enrollment at your school of your residence.
