Manage Students Who Enroll or Withdraw

  • For students who have moved from one Texas district to another, the receiving district testing coordinator should move the student to the new district using the Transfer Student task in the Student Information module in the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE). Refer to the How District-level Users Transfer Students Between Campuses or Districts section of the TIDE User Guide for instructions.

  • Districts can view reports of students who have transferred into and out of their district in the Student Information module in TIDE.

  • For students who formally withdraw from your district, ensure the student information in TIDE is up to date so that the receiving district can access accurate information. As required by TAC 74.5(c), sending districts must ensure academic achievement records are promptly provided to the receiving campus.

  • For students who do not formally withdraw, including migrant students, the district and campus must still account for these students' test records.

Manage Students Who Temporarily Relocate

For a student who will take a test at an alternate location such as a different campus, a different district, or an alternate education setting, it is not necessary to transfer the student to the other location in TIDE. District testing personnel should enter the name of the other testing location in the Testing District and Testing Campus fields in TIDE under the Student Demographics section. For reporting and accountability purposes, the student’s enrolled district and campus will receive the student’s test results.
