The Board of Control held a special called meeting on Wednesday, June 18 to discuss the timing of transfer form submissions for the upcoming school year. The Board voted unanimously to allow transfer forms and hardship applications for fall sports to be submitted by schools and processed by the state office beginning July 14, 2025.
The state office has previously leaned on the definition of enrollment as found in the TSSAA Bylaws when processing transfer forms that are received in the summer prior to the first official date of practice for fall sports. This has prevented the state office from processing transfer forms or hardship applications until after a student has participated in three or more days of practice after the first official practice date for fall sports if the student did not finish the previous school year at their new school. It is not uncommon for the state office to receive many of these requests at this time of year, and those transfer forms sit idle until after official practice starts.
