How does ManageBac handle transfers between schools?
If a student is transferring to another IB school that uses ManageBac, we can move the student's core records over with them. No other academic or specific-school records such as Report Cards transfer.
Important Notes:
- The student is archived on the original school account upon transfer
- The data that moves with the student to the new (receiving) school will no longer be present on the original (sending) school account (ie it does not get duplicated, it gets transferred).
- Transfers are only processed upon confirmation by a coordinator on both the sending and receiving school account. Transfer requests from students and parents will not be processed.
What data transfers with the student?
Please note: the following areas transfer with the student and WILL NOT remain in your school's account. It is recommended to export or download copies prior to confirming a student transferring from your school to another school.

Transfers involving China schools
Since we have migrated China schools to a localised China server on September 12, 2018, it is no longer possible to transfer records between schools where one school is in China and the other is outside of China. This is due to both being on different servers.
- Exporting CAS reports via the student's CAS worksheet > click Generate Reports on the right-hand side to begin generating CAS reports
- In the student worksheet, click Browse Reflections & Evidence (on the right-hand side) > click Export to PDF for a copy of their reflections.
