Transfer Students


If your school is part of a district-level Naviance account, you can move student folders to other schools within the district account using the Transfer Students feature or by completing a district-level student data import.

School staff members can only transfer student records if they and the receiving school are part of the same district-level Naviance account.

Student Data

When moving student folders from one account to another using Transfer Students or a data import, most student data will transfer, including:

  • Personal and demographic data
  • Username and password, if registered
  • Test scores
  • Prospective Colleges list or Colleges I'm Thinking About list
  • College Application data
  • Scholarship application data
  • Favorite careers, career clusters, and pathways
  • Success plan activity for district-level tasks only
  • Journals, if shared with counselors.
  • Documents
  • Resumes
  • Assessments
  • Surveys
  • Student course data
  • Course plans
  • Linked parent accounts

    The new school must reassign a registration code if the student or parent has not yet registered for Naviance Student.

The following student data does not transfer and must be re-populated by the new school:

  • Counselor assignment
  • Goals
  • Homeroom assignment
  • Manual rank and decile
  • Work-based learning activity
