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).

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. 
 

STEP 2: REQUEST FOR RECORDS

We will need records from your student's current school, including their high school transcript, standardized test scores, and courses with grades in process. 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 records from the student’s current school. 

Transfer students must be on track to graduate from Tampa Catholic.

Students who have documented special needs must provide the complete results of a psychological-educational evaluation (within the last 3 years). Please fax or email the information to the Admissions Office. Information is confidential.

After the required records transfer affidavit are received, an Admissions Committee reviews the applicant's file and makes the final decision on admission.


STEP 3: NOTICE OF ADMISSIONS STATUS

The Admissions Department will send notification of admission status via email after the Admissions Committee review, typically within 4-6 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.
