Before starting the application, make sure you have done the following:

• The enrolling parent needs to create a Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account. Please contact the enrolled school for an activation key. 
• Students new to FCPS must be enrolled at a base school before starting the student transfer application process. 

Contact [email protected] for any questions.

Let’s Get Started!

1. Access the online student transfer application.
2. Type in your username and password that corresponds to the enrolling parent Student Information (SIS) Account. 
   
      
3. If your child appears under the enrolling parent (green) bar, select “Start a transfer request.” 
   
   
   • Select “Renew Request” instead of “Start a transfer request” if you are requesting a renewal of a student transfer and your student continues to meet the same student transfer criteria as indicated in the original student transfer application.
   • If your child appears under the viewing parent (burgundy) tab then you may not proceed with application submission. The enrolling parent needs to submit the application on behalf of the family. 
     
     
4. Select “FCPS Employee Work Location” as the reason for transfer request. (Also, make sure the correct school year has been selected.)
   
   
5. FCPS employee identifies the relationship with child, checks the boxes, and enters FCPS employee user name, & password.
