Student Transfers

Starting the Summer of 2024, VUSD will be instituting a Transfer Dead Period in order to allow schools and teachers to properly prepare for the upcoming school year. During this Dead Period, transfer requests of any kind will not be permitted. Additionally, during this time, the student transfer request links will not be accessible via the VUSD website, nor will paper transfer requests be accepted. The Transfer Dead Period will start on Monday, July 15 2024 thru Sunday, Sept. 1st 2024. During this Dead Period, existing transfer requests will not be reviewed nor considered. Once the Dead Period has ended, VUSD will resume accepting transfer requests only. The approving of transfers will continue to occur only during the Summer and Semester break periods. 

INTRADISTRICT TRANSFERS are transfers from one school to another within Visalia Unified School District.

INTERDISTRICT TRANSFERS are transfers either leaving or coming into Visalia Unified School District. These transfers are processed annually and are only approved for one year at a time based on space availability.

All new incoming interdistrict transfers need to:

1. Apply for an interdistrict agreement from their district of residence first.
2. If approved, the district of residence will then send the interdistrict agreement to VUSD.
3. Upon receipt of the approved interdistrict agreement from the district of residence, VUSD then approves or denies based on space availability.
4. VUSD then notifies the parent of approval or denial by the May 17 deadline.

Please note, if approved and the requested school is not available due to space, an alternative school may be offered. For each following year, student will need to apply for a renewal in order to remain in VUSD. All new incoming interdistrict transfers are subject to review of grades, attendance and behavior prior to approval. If approved, student will be required to adhere to attendance and behavior criteria or be subject to revocation.
