Transfer procedures for ordinary high school students Students whose household registration and home address are transferred across provinces, cities and counties can transfer to other schools. Students themselves or their parents apply to the transfer school to issue a transfer certificate. With the approval of the education authorities of counties (cities, districts) and provincial cities, students can go through the admission formalities with the transfer certificate, parents' transfer certificate and household registration transfer certificate to the transfer school and the education authorities of counties (cities, districts) and provincial cities. Star-rated high schools generally do not accept transfer students, but can accept transfer students from star-rated high schools at the same level if the number of places allows.
