SY 2026-27 Waitlist period has ended Link to this section
The waitlist period for SY 2026-27 enrollment has ended. All waitlists have been dissolved.
What now?
- Students who are enrolled in an SFUSD school should remain there for the rest of the Fall semester. Transfers are not permitted during the semester, except for in limited circumstances.
- If you still wish to transfer to another school in the spring semester of the current school year, submit a Spring Transfer application by November 13, to potentially receive a new school assignment for January 2027, after winter break.
If you are not enrolled in an SFUSD school, you are not permitted to submit a Spring Transfer application. You can speak with the Enrollment Center at any time to enroll immediately into any school that has open seats and no Spring Transfer requests.
