How to Transfer                                                                        

The typical point of entry for students transferring to Marquette Catholic High School from another high school is within the first week of a semester. The admissions process begins once an individual requests and submits a transfer application, grades in progress and a high school transcript. The applicant also needs to arrange for the submission, under separate cover, of two letters of recommendation. One letter must be from a teacher or counselor at the student's current school. The second letter of recommendation may be from an individual of the student's choice. The Admissions Office will schedule an interview with the applicant and his/her family.
  1. All requests by high school students for transfer to Marquette Catholic High School in 9th (mid-term), 10th or 11th grades must be submitted to Jennifer Quinlan, Director of Advancement.

  2. Mid-term requests will be handled on an individual basis.

  3. Students requesting a transfer must submit the following information to the Director of Advancement:

    • A completed Application for Admission – Transfer Student;
    • Grades in progress and a copy of the high school transcript for all high school course work completed;
    • Student’s attendance and discipline records;
    • Two letters of recommendation mailed directly to Marquette Catholic. (Note: At least one letter must be from a teacher or counselor at the student's current school.)

  4. Complete transfer files (application, transcript, and recommendation letters) must be received before an interview can be scheduled.

  5. The criteria for admission as a transfer student will be based on the following:

    • Student performance in previous and current high school(s)-academic and disciplinary
    • Assessment of the reason(s) transfer is requested
