This form will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. During the Midyear Transfer Period, this form can be used to request a student transfer when a student is experiencing a hardship and would like to request a change in school environments. Submitting this Hardship Transfer Request is the first stage in the process and is subject to approval or denial by the NOLA-PS Enrollment Services team after receiving additional information from the student's school. Hardship transfers can be made between NOLA-PS schools that participate in the NOLA-PS Common Application Process (NCAP). Students should continue to attend their current school while the Hardship Transfer Request is under review. Absences are not excused.

If you have any questions about this form, please reach out to transfers@nolapublicschools.com. If you need assistance completing the form, you may visit a Family Resource Center. For more information about Midyear Transfers, please click here.
