Transferring a current student using Student Maintenance

Alternatively, set the Status to Leaving or Left on the School tab. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab - Status sub-tab in the Current students or Next year process manual.

Note:
You can transfer past students back to current students. Check the transferred records, as some fields may not be restored.
