Nonresident FAQ

SUBMIT YOUR TRANSFER REQUEST WAITLIST APPLICATION

If you have any questions, please email studentplacement@bsd405.org.

Please note: Choice Transfer Requests submitted without receiving an offer will be denied.

Nonresident Students Currently Enrolled in a BSD School

If your student is currently enrolled in a Bellevue School District school and in good standing, they will roll up to the next grade or next school level in the approved feeder pattern. You do not need to apply again. Student Placement will request  that you renew your Choice Transfer Request in late January.

Please keep in mind that if the Choice Transfer Request has not been received as requested, enrollment in the requested school year will be put on hold until it is received.

State Law requires that a Choice Transfer Request be submitted each year. To submit your renewal Choice Transfer Request for the upcoming school year, please use the link below to access the OSPI parent portal. You will need an active email address to use the system. You will be directed to enter your email address, then an access code will be emailed to you that you will need to enter to begin.
