- All transfer students are ineligible for OFSAA competition until cleared by their Association Transfer Appeal Board or the OFSAA Transfers Committee.
- Appeals go in writing through your coach to the Association Transfer Appeal Board, and through that Board to the OFSAA Transfers Committee. OFSAA only accepts an appeal if you were denied eligibility at the Association level.
- A school representative (athletic designate, administrator or student services staff) sends the application by email with the student's name, the school name, the representative's name and the principal's name. Hearings are held virtually.
- Fee: $50 per appeal. The Transfer Policy says it is refundable if the appeal is successful.
- Decisions of the Transfers Committee are final.
