KSHSAA ELIGIBILITY CHECK LIST

NOTE: Transfer Rule 18 states in part, a student is eligible transfer-wise if:

BEGINNING SEVENTH GRADER—A seventh grader, at the beginning of his or her seventh grade year,

is eligible under the Transfer Rule at any school he or she may choose to attend. In addition, age and

academic eligibility requirements must also be met.

BEGINNING NINTH GRADERS IN A THREE-YEAR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL—So that ninth graders

of a three-year junior high are treated equally to ninth graders of a four-year senior high school, a student

who has successfully completed the eighth grade of a two-year junior high/middle school, may transfer

to the ninth grade of a three-year junior high school at the beginning of the school year and be eligible

immediately under the Transfer Rule. Such a ninth grader must then as a tenth grader, attend the feeder

senior high school of their school system. Should they attend a different school as a tenth grader, they

would be ineligible for eighteen weeks.

ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME—A senior high school student is eligible under the

Transfer Rule at any senior high school he or she may choose to attend when senior high is entered for

the ﬁrst time at the beginning of the school year. In addition, age and academic eligibility requirements

must also be met.
