Applying for a District Transfer
A district transfer policy permits patrons a choice of selecting an attendance center outside of their designated area, if that attendance center is open to enrollment.
Remember to update all address and email changes with your current school registrar, prior to submitting a transfer request. Please contact Student Services at 402-436-1684 with any questions regarding the transfer or appeal process.
