Intra-District Transfer and Boundary Information

Palm Springs Unified School District is an "Open Enrollment" District. This means that you may request an Intra-District Transfer to send your child to a school (except to Mt. San Jacinto Continuation High School) other than that of his/her school of residence within PSUSD. 

To process your transfer request for the 2017/2018 school year, you must submit an Intra-District Transfer between January 9, 2017 and July 26, 2017. Transfers are approved depending upon space availability.​
​Transfer requests are managed through a lottery system. The "Priority Period" lottery group is January 9, 2017 - March 17, 2017.
  • Students with siblings requesting same school of attendance will be given higher priority than non-sibling transfers as long as there is space available.
  • Parents will be notified by mail if approved.
  • It is the responsibility of the parent to provide transportation for the student.
  • Transfers may be revoked for poor attendance and behavior through School Attendance Review Board (SARB).

(CIF) Regulations: Transfers are subject to California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) regulations. Please contact the athletic director at the school you are requesting to learn how this transfer will affect your child’s athletic eligibility.

Career Technical Education (CTE): For more information on available High School Academies, typein the following link: http://linkedlearningpsusd.com/, or view the High School Pathway video on our PSUSD website under the parent tab.
The Process is as follows:
  • Parents must complete an Intra-District Transfer permit through our transfer website: www.studentransferhq.com or through our “PSUSD Computer Kiosk Stations” at Student Services office between 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (one transfer per child)
  • Students must have an active Student ID Number. If you do not know your students ID number, please contact your school of attendance.
  • If a student is new to PSUSD, student must be enrolled in their school of residence while pending a transfer approval. If you are unsure as to your “school of residence”, you may use our district website www.psusd.us “Find My School.”
  • Only parent or legal guardian on record may apply for a Transfer permit.
  • Please be aware of any ‘deadlines’ for submitting your application.
  • Transfer requests are approved through a lottery system.
  • If student is in Special Ed, the transfer request must be reviewed by the Special Ed Department prior to transfer approval. This is due to program availability concerns.​
All permits are subject to review at any time should class overloads occur. Permits may be cancelled if continuance would lead to an enrollment overload as defined by District staffing level or California law.
