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

All Applications

• 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. 

Resident on Military Installation Applications

• Parents must provide the enrolled school a current resident occupancy agreement from The Villages at Belvoir.  If the lease date is not current a letter from the community management office is also required to document military housing for student transfer consideration. 
• After the enrolled school has confirmed receipt of the required documentation in the Student Information System, the parent may submit an online student transfer application the following business day. 

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 “Military Installation Housing” as the reason for transfer request. (Also, make sure the correct school year has been selected.)
   
   
   • If the message below appears, it is because either the parent has not provided the correct documentation to the base school or the base school has not confirmed receipt of the required documentation in the Student Information System. 
     
     
5. Select a school from the listing that shows how far a school is from military housing (9143 Richmond Hwy is used as a starting point to calculate mileage). 
   
   
6. Check the two boxes at the bottom to agree to the Letter of Understanding. 
   
   
7. Review the application and select “Submit.” 
   
   

The enrolling parent will receive an email confirming the transfer application submission.

Please allow 2-3 weeks to process the request. The enrolling parent will receive a decision email when the process is completed.
