Create a membership transfer

Chapter leaders can initiate the transfer of a membership from your chapter to another chapter within your state or in a different state. Active memberships can only be transferred if they have a Local, State or Approved submission level status. Expired memberships can only be transferred if they do not have active memberships in any chapter and if you have authorization over the receiving chapter (e.g., you manage both the middle school and high school chapters).
Important

For a transfer to be completed, the receiving (inbound) chapter leader must approve the transfer request in Manage Membership Transfers. The membership will continue to appear on your roster until the request is approved.

Active membership transfer request

Create a transfer request for an active membership under Manage Memberships. Use Search and Advanced Search to locate the membership(s).

  1. Select Student or Alumni – The default is Student
  2. Verify the current Membership Year is selected– The default is the current year
  3. Verify your Chapter is selected – Your chapter should be the default unless you manage multiple chapters

    • Submission Level Status
    • Grade
    • FFA ID

  5. Click Search
Tip

If your search does not produce the desired results, try narrowing or expanding your results by changing the search parameters. Example: Try different spelling variations of the first and last name.
