Inter/Intra District Transfers
See Transfer Forms below.
InterDistrict Transfer Requests
Students who live outside the boundaries of Orcutt Union School District and wish to attend a school in the Orcutt Union School District may apply for a transfer during Open Enrollment. The Open Enrollment period for InterDistrict Transfer Requests is from March 1st through April 15th. Applications for InterDistrict Transfers are available at your school district of residence. Once your district of residence has released your student(s), you may apply to attend the Orcutt Union School District. Due to space limitations, only a very limited number of new transfers are accepted by Orcutt Union School District each year. InterDistrict students are placed only after all IntraDistrict Transfer Requests have been granted.
Students who live in the Orcutt Union School District but wish to attend a school in another district may enter into an InterDistrict Transfer Agreement between Orcutt Union School District and the school district of choice. Please complete the InterDistrict Transfer Form below and bring it to the Enrollment Office for verification. Once approved, the form would be taken to the district of choice. The receiving district may or may not accept the transfer.
Parents will be notified in writing of InterDistrict Transfer decisions. Additional information regarding InterDistrict Transfers may be found in Board Policy 5117-BP Interdistrict Attendance located in the Series 5000 section of the Board Policies & Administrative Regulations page.

Please complete an IntraDistrict Transfer Form below and submit the form to the Enrollment Office.
