Applications for the 2025-26 school year, beginning in August 2025, will open in April 2025. Transfer applicants should review our specific admission criteria below (different from new incoming freshmen) and Tampa Catholic’s curriculum, as all transfer students must be on track to fulfill our graduation requirements. Please note that applications do not carry over between academic years.
 

  Transfer Student Admission Criteria 

  • High school cumulative grade point average of 3.0 of higher
  • 50th percentile or higher on standardized tests
  • Satisfactory discipline and attendance records
  • No deficient credits
  • Transfer affidavit from current school, form supplied by TC after acceptance

Transfer Student Process

Tampa Catholic does not accept applications for local (Tampa Bay region) seniors or juniors at the beginning of the second semester. If your family is relocating, admission can be considered if space permits. TC Tuition Assistance is not available for students transferring in the second semester. Families may apply for tuition assistance the following school year(s).

Note on Valedictorian & Salutatorian Eligibility: Students must have completed a minimum of five consecutive semesters at Tampa Catholic and be a model of exemplary behavior with no major disciplinary infractions.
Apply Now allows you to create an online account to apply as a transfer student to Tampa Catholic and submit the $75.00 (non-refundable) application fee.

Please save your log-in information as you will use this to enroll your student if accepted. Immediately after applying, you will be provided a confirmation email with further instructions. 
We will need records from your student's current school, including an unofficial high school transcript, standardized test scores (PSAT, Pre-Act, SAT, or ACT), and current courses with current grades. Only if the student is applying to transfer mid-year for 9th grade, middle school records are also required. It is the parent’s responsibility to request/provide these records. 

Transfer students must be on track to graduate from Tampa Catholic.
 
Students who have any diagnosis affecting the learning environment must provide a current 504, IEP, or psychological-educational evaluation. Please email the information to the Admissions Office. 
 
After the required records are received, an Admissions Committee reviews the applicant's file and makes the final decision on admission.  
The Admissions Department will send notification of admission status via email after the Admissions Committee review, typically within 3-5 weeks. 
 
When a transfer applicant receives an acceptance letter to Tampa Catholic High School, he or she will also receive the required Transfer Affidavit Form to complete prior to enrollment.This form requires the student's current high school administration and athletic department (if applicable) to acknowledge the transfer and share any applicable information.
