How it's used
Focuses specifically on the administrative act of changing one's place of study. It is commonly used when a family moves house or when a student is unhappy with their current academic environment. Unlike general verbs for moving, this implies a formal process of withdrawing from one institution and enrolling in another.
Examples
Have you thought it through? Do you really want to transfer schools?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 轉工, which is used exclusively for changing jobs. Using 轉校 to describe changing a workplace will sound very confusing to native speakers.
