transfer student
Relocated enrolled pupil
A transfer student is someone who moves from one school to another, particularly at the college level, continuing their education at the new institution rather than starting fresh.
The term usually implies bringing academic credits from the previous school: She transferred as a junior after two years at community college.
In K-12 contexts, transfer student often describes someone changing schools mid-year or moving between districts.
