MEMORANDUM
Date: May 20, 2025
To: Public
From: OSSAA
Subject: Public Service Announcement – One-Time Change of School Hardship Waiver
To be eligible for a one-time change of school hardship, students must submit a Student Transfer Application through the State Department of Education’s website between June 1 and July 15.
If a student is returning to their home district, the school must provide documentation showing the student began the enrollment process on or before July 15th.
Details of the criteria can be found on the OSSAA Website under “One Time Change of School Hardship Criteria.” Click Here or See Below.
Students who miss the July 15 deadline will not be granted a hardship under the “one-time change of school” criteria.
A hardship waiver submitted after the deadline must demonstrate an unusual, unforeseen, or unavoidable circumstance that compelled the student to change schools.
Once the student has begun the enrollment process, the school is responsible for submitting the hardship waiver to the OSSAA.
