Transfer Tracker 101

Edited

Welcome to FinalForms! Whether you're a returning user or new to our platform, this guide will help you navigate the process of registering students and managing transfer eligibility with ease. Let's dive in!

Getting Started

If you’re a FinalForms customer, your parents will indicate if they are transferring from another school when they fill out the registration forms at the beginning of the season. The information provided in the New Student Registration and MHSAA Transfer Eligibility Forms will automatically populate into the Transfer Eligibility Worksheet.

If you’re not a FinalForms customer, don’t worry! You can manually enter the student by following the steps below. We promise it’ll be easier than ever before!

Locating Your FinalForms Site

To get started, follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to https://mhsaa.finalforms.com/.

  2. Click LOGIN under the ‘School/District Staff’ icon.

  3. Search for your school district or private school.

  4. If you are a returning user, log in using your credentials. If you are a new user, retrieve your confirmation email by providing your email address.

Creating a Student (non-clients ONLY)

Once you’re logged in, follow the below steps to create a student and enable their transfer arrows:

  1. Click MANAGE > STUDENTS.

  2. Click New Student in the top right corner.

  3. Work with the student’s parents to complete the New Student information. Be sure to include the "Transferring From" and "Sport History" information in the yellow box.

Accessing the Worksheet

To access the MHSAA Student Transfer Eligibility Worksheet, follow these steps:

  1. Return to the MANAGE > STUDENTS page and find the transferring student. Click the double arrow icon to the left of the student's name.

  2. Under "Transfer Athletic Eligibility Status," click *Initiate Athletic Transfer Eligibility Request.

  3. Follow the steps on the MHSAA Student Transfer Eligibility Assessment Page.

Step 1 - Confirm Sending School and Official Date of Transfer

Confirm the information for the student’s previous school and Athletic Director is correct. The email address provided here will be used to give the sending school AD access to the student’s worksheet.

Official Date of Transfer: This date will automatically be filled in with the Student Enrollment Record Start Date in FinalForms. Please confirm this matches their official start date at your school and revise if needed. This date will begin the 12-month clock on the student’s eligibility.

Note: You can edit the sending school contact information at any point prior to the sending school signing the assessment. If there is no sending school contact available due to a student being homeschooled or in some foreign exchange situations, please contact your HSAA for more information.

Step 2 - Verify Transfer Information

Complete all questions and provide all relevant information and attachments.

Note: If you are a FinalForms customer, this information will be filled out by the parent and student, who will be asked to sign off that the information is correct. You can edit this information if needed within the worksheet itself.

Step 3 - Initial Determination

Review the instructions and MHSAA Rules, and select the exception that you feel best applies to the student.

Provide your name as listed under the Signature Box to validate that the information is correct to the best of your knowledge.

Click the Send Worksheet Verification Request button to notify the Sending School AD that they can review and verify the information. A pop-up window will appear to confirm your action.

Step 4 - Sending School Signature

The Sending School Athletic Director will receive an email notification at the email provided at the beginning of the worksheet. The link in this email will give them direct access to the worksheet for review. Once accessed, the Sending School AD will:

  • Review all of the information.

  • Provide comments, questions, and disputes in the easy-to-use comment/chat box.

  • Once all information is reviewed, the Sending School Athletic Director will provide their name as listed under the Signature Box to validate that the information is correct to the best of their knowledge.

The sending school confirmation will complete the transfer process.
