Users with a District Administrator account on Summit K12 have the ability to transfer students between schools within their district.
Can Students be Transferred Between Different Districts?
Purpose
When customers choose to roster students manually during the onboarding process, they forego the ability to auto-roster students, which includes auto-transferring students in the Summit K12 LMS should they enroll in a different school within the same district. Automated student rostering is available with SFTP Nightly Sync and ClassLink which can be set up and configured by your district's technology department.
Under these circumstances, teachers will not see the student appear in their campus's enrollment box and they may attempt to manually create the student as a new user in order to add them to their Summit K12 class. When this happens, the following notification will appear:
How to Transfer Students
1. Log in and select Home.
2. Select Account Management.
3. Select Transfer Students.
4. In the search bar, type the student's email address and click Search.
5. Select the student's name to highlight the user and click Select Student.
6. The school the student is currently associated with will appear on the left. Use the School dropdown on the right and select the school they transferred to. Click Transfer to complete the process. The other dropdown menus can be left alone.
7. The following notification will appear to indicate the transfer was successful.
After Transferring a Student
When students are transferred to another school in Summit K12's LMS, the following actions will simultaneously occur:
- The student will unenroll from courses at their previous school.
- The student will appear in the enrollment box of their new campus.
The student will NOT automatically enroll in a course at their new school. Teachers should follow the same process to enroll the student in their course(s). Please view How to Enroll Students and/or Support Teachers for additional information.
What Happens to Student Work?
After transferring a student, their progress in any of their courses will be saved and will be transferred to the new school.
The student must be enrolled in the same grade level and same course subject at the new school in order for data to transfer and be accessed.
- Example:
- Student A was enrolled in a 3rd-grade TELPAS Readiness course at School 1.
- Student A is transferred to School 2.
- Student A must be enrolled in a 3rd-grade TELPAS Readiness course at School 2 for the data to transfer.
Contact Summit K12 Support
If a teacher is unsure who their Summit K12 District Administrator is and needs a student to be transferred, email support@summitk12.com or submit a support request here with the following information:

Can Students be Transferred Between Different Districts?
Summit K12 accounts and all related data are directly tied to the student's district-assigned email address and their associated district on the Summit K12 LMS. Students generally receive a new district-assigned email address when they transfer to another district. If this district is also partnered with Summit K12, then a new, unique email address for the student will result in a new, unique Summit K12 account.
Under special circumstances, if students do need to be transferred from one district to another and their Summit K12 data needs to carry over, please contact our Support Team for additional assistance.
