Intra-District Transfers v. Open Enrollment
There is a two week period starting the last week of January each year where students can apply online to attend a school within Whittier Union that is not their school of residence. The Open Enrollment application period for the 2024-2025 school year is January 22 - February 2, 2024. Each school accepts up to 220 students during this process. If more than 220 students apply, a random lottery will occur for students who applied during the two week period; it is not first come, first served. Students can apply for any reason, unlike Intra-District transfers. Transportation is not provided to students who choose this option.
Intra-district applications for the following school year are accepted starting in April of the previous year. If your student ends up on an Open Enrollment waitlist, you do not need to apply for an intra-district transfer. For schools that have a waitlist from Open Enrollment, Intra-district applications are only accepted after all of the students from the Open Enrollment waitlist have been accepted because Open Enrollment applications have priority over intra-district transfers. Unlike Open Enrollment applications, Intra-District applications will only be accepted for specific reasons (see below). Transportation is not provided to students who choose this option.
Information about Intra-District Transfers
Intra-District transfer requests are for students who live within the Whittier Union High School District attendance boundaries, but would like to attend a school other than their school of residence. Applications will be presented to a committee that consists of district administrators for review. Please keep in mind that a request is NOT a guarantee for acceptance into your school of choice. Your application will not be reviewed by the committee until all requested information and documentation has been received.
Students can apply for intra-district permits at any time for the current school year; however, transfers are typically not granted during the second half of each semester in order to allow for academic continuity, except for extenuating circumstances. Applications for subsequent school years are available starting around March 1st of the previous school year.
This application process is now only available online. The decision will be emailed to you at the email address you provide in the application. Transportation is not provided to students who choose this option. *All incoming 9th graders must provide a recent report card or transcript with their application.* All required documents can be uploaded from your computer or phone as part of the online application.
Intra-district transfers may be granted for the following reasons:
- Senior Option- Current 11th grader (for subsequent school year) or 12th grader (for current school year) who is currently attending or recently attended the requested school, but moved to another attendance area within the district.
- Sibling Option- Student has a sibling at the desired school that will continue to attend during the same time period for which the student is applying for the permit. We will not grant sibling option if the sibling is at the school due to a discipline transfer.
- Parent is a WUHSD employee.
- Social Adjustment
- Psychological or physical health need-- In order to be considered, a letter from a medical doctor or licensed therapist must be provided.
- Student is a victim of bullying. The concern must have been reported to and investigated by the school where it occurred in order to apply for an intra-district transfer for this reason.
