Out-of-State and Mid-Year Transfers

New residents to New York City who need high school placement should visit a Regional Enrollment Center with her / his parent(s) or legal guardian(s). For a list of centers and hours of operation, please visit the NYC Department of Education website at www.schools.nyc.gov. In order to register a student into a New York City public high school, parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and child, need to present the following documents when they meet with an Enrollment Counselor:

• Verifiable proof of your home address (Please select only one of the following:)
  • A utility bill (gas, electric, or water)
  • A deed to your house
  • A document from the City Housing Authority or the Human Resources Administration.

  • A statement on appropriate letterhead that verifies your address from an employer, a social agency, a community based organization, or a religious institution.
    
    
    • Please note: A telephone bill or driver’s license is not acceptable proof of address. A lease by itself is not acceptable. If you are subletting an apartment or home, or if more than one family shares a living space, you must present an affidavit from the leaseholder or homeowner and attach any of the above acceptable proofs of addresses.

• Child’s birth certificate, passport, or baptismal certificate.
• Child’s immunization records.

Students who are interested in BHSEC must inform the Enrollment Counselor with whom she or he meets. If the applicant fits our admissions profile and there are available seats in the applicant’s grade level, she or he will be referred to our school for testing and interviewing. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance or denial after the completion of the exam and interview.
