All transfer inquiries should be directed to the Admissions Office of Detroit Catholic Central High School. Please do not contact a coach regarding transfer opportunities, as they are not able to engage with you in those conversations per MHSAA rules.

Catholic Central accepts students at the start of each semester for grades 9-11. Transfer opportunities for students entering their senior year of high school are exceptionally rare, and typically are reserved for families who are undergoing a full family move from out of state.

 

Transfer applicants must submit an application, up-to-date transcript, and clean discipline record, and must conduct an interview with the Admissions Office.
 

 

  • For which grades does Catholic Central consider transfer applications?

    • CC accepts students applying for 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. 

    • 12th grade transfers are not considered unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as a family move from out of state.
       

  • When do transfer students begin classes at CC?

    • Transfer students are eligible to start classes at the beginning of our semesters, either in August or January.
       

  • What if CC’s semester timing doesn’t align with our current school’s calendar?

    • Students are able to request “exit grades” from their current school in order to begin classes at CC in January. It is completely in the control of your current school, and CC does not have an impact on whether or not they will release them.

    • Exit grades are not an issue over the summer.
       

  • What are the requirements for a transfer student?

    • Students must carry a minimum of a 2.5 GPA in core classes and be on track to graduate on time.

    • Students must have a clean disciplinary record.

    • Students must submit a complete application, essay, transcript, discipline history, and student interview.
       

  • Are there any tests required for course placement?

    • We use a student’s current high school transcript for placement purposes, so no additional testing is required.
       

  • Are there scholarships or tuition assistance for transfer students?

    • Merit-based scholarships are not available for transfer students.

    • Financial aid may be available, and requires a separate application. Current families receive priority for funding over transfer applicants. A complete FAST form and tax documentation is required for all families applying for tuition assistance.
       

  • Are transfers eligible for athletics?

    • Transfers must follow MHSAA transfer guidelines regarding athletic eligibility. 

    • Unless one of the exceptions are met and approved by the MHSAA representative council, students are ineligible for one full year from any MHSAA sport they competed at for their prior school.
