Types of Transfers

• In-District Transfers – transfers for students who live within the Pasadena ISD boundaries and would like to attend a different school than the school to which their home is zoned.
• Out-of-District Transfers – transfers for students who live outside of the Pasadena ISD school boundaries and would like to attend a Pasadena school. This type of transfer requires the student’s prior year educational documents be submitted with the application. (See below for details.)

Transfer Approval Process

• Applications will begin the approval process once all required documentation is received.
• Applications are contingent upon availability of campus and/or program space, and the student’s educational history. Therefore, they are not automatically approved.
  • In-district transfers require the approval of both the home principal and the requested school principal.
  • Out-of-district transfers require the approval of the requested school principal.

Documentation Required for Out-of-District Transfers
IMPORTANT! Out-of-district transfer applications will not be processed until all required documentation is submitted.
If you are having problems submitting your documentation, bring your documents to Student Services located in the Pasadena ISD Administration Building located at 3920 Mickey Gilley Blvd. | Pasadena, TX 77505

If applying for a transfer mid-year, your student must remain enrolled at their current school until the transfer application is approved. Early withdrawal could result in your child’s application being denied.
