Parents Submit About 1,000 Transfer Applications for 2012-13
Online application yields high results over first couple of days
February 7, 2012
Parents have submitted about 1,000 applications over two days through the Albuquerque Public Schools transfer request system. The system allows parents to request a transfer for their children from one school to another for the 2012-13 school year.
The system is back online after being down because of technical issues. Anyone who attempted to submit an application before Feb. 6 needs to do so again.
Each year, the APS Student Service Center collects a first batch of transfer applications between Feb. 1 and March 15. Applications are entered into a lottery process, as required by state law. They are not processed on a first come, first served basis if received within that timeframe.
Requests received after March 15 will be processed at a later time.
Transfer requests may also be submitted in-person at the APS Student Service Center, 6400 Uptown Blvd. NE, Suite 100 West. For information, call the Service Center at 855-9050 or 855-9040.
Students who currently have an approved transfer do not need to re-apply unless they are changing schools. Students changing levels from elementary to middle school, or middle to high school are required to complete a new transfer request.
