Non-Resident Student Transfer Request Policy

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is a limited open-enrollment district. A nonresident student in grades K - 12 living within the boundaries of the cities of Grapevine or Colleyville, but outside the boundaries of GCISD, may be permitted to apply to attend designated schools or designated district programs. 

Additionally, an employee of the City of Grapevine or City of Colleyville may apply for his or her child to be admitted into GCISD schools through the transfer process.

A parent or legal guardian of a nonresident student who lives within the boundaries of the cities of Grapevine or Colleyville may request a transfer from his or her home district to a GCISD school or program. The criteria used in considering each transfer application is found in Administration Regulations – S – Student Transfer Request.       

For nonresident, limited open-enrollment students who reside within the cities of Grapevine or Colleyville:

  • Available capacity in the requested school

  • Availability of Instructional staff

  • The transfer student’s attendance is in good standing 

  • The transfer student’s behavior is in good standing

  • The transfer student’s grades are in good standing

  • The transfer student has passed all state-mandated assessments (such as STAAR)

Applications for nonresident transfers are considered by student and not by family. Upon approval, the student is allowed one transfer per school year. Approved transfers remain in effect until the student completes the grade levels at the campus unless the transfer is revoked as per Board Policy FDA(LOCAL). For each transitional year, the student must apply for a new transfer request. An approved transfer for one child does not guarantee space availability for current or future siblings.
