If a show has scenes featuring a school, the easiest way to drop a new character into the cast is to have that character enter as a
Often this ignores the inherent problem of characters with no credentials or information (since a lot aren't even human) being able to sign up for a school within a week or so after getting the idea. See [[Undead Tax Exemption]].

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Mone in ''[[Yumeria]]'' is registered and attending Tomokazu's high school almost within minutes of exiting the dream world and showing up in his bed.
* Eiru and An in the "Makaiju" [[Story Arc]] of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' effortlessly masquerade as normal middle schoolers.
Line 115:
** ...and Haru a couple minutes later.
*** ....and soon after Akira, who is ''25 years old.''
== Fan Works ==
Line 123 ⟶ 122:
** Precisely one fanfic offers a legitimate excuse for this: written prior to the series conclusion, the transfer students are the twin children of the new Defense professor (who is from Australia). Of course, the author's writing chops sure didn't hurt.
▲== Films ==
* The "transfer students" in ''[[Battle Royale]]'' are two guys voluntarily participating in the game. For Kazuo Kiriyama, this only applies in the film version, with the character being a gang leader (the role assumed by Numai alone in the film) in the novel and manga. For Shogo Kawada, he's a transfer in all three versions.
* [[Charlie Bartlett]] is about a rich but troubled boy (the title character) who is kicked out of every private school he attends until he has to resort to a public school. The film opens with him transferring.
* ''[[The Hairy Bird]]'': Odette "Odie" Sinclair
== Literature ==
Line 134 ⟶ 131:
* Bella Swan transfers to Forks High School to open ''[[Twilight (novel)|The Twilight Saga.]]''
▲== Live Action TV ==
* That new girl from L.A., [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy Summers]].
* Delia Fisher in ''[[My So-Called Life]]''.
Line 147 ⟶ 143:
* {{spoiler|Blaine Anderson}} in season three of ''[[Glee]]''
* ''[[Saved by the Bell]]: The New Class'' had at least one (often more) every season.
== Manhwa ==
Line 154 ⟶ 149:
** Later Si-Hoo transfers to her school as well.
* Sung-Hae at the start of ''[[Zippy Ziggy]]''.
== Video Games ==
Line 168 ⟶ 162:
* Mayu Suzumoto of ''[[Corpse Party]]'' is an inversion. She's transferring ''out'' of Kisaragi Academy. The festival is supposed to be her last day. {{spoiler|[[Retirony|If only she'd transferred out sooner...]]}}
=== Visual Novels ===▼
▲== Visual Novels ==
* Too many visual novels to list have transfer student heroines: ''[[Princess Waltz]]'', ''[[Muv-Luv]]'', ''[[Da Capo]]''...
* And probably even more visual novels have transfer student protagonists: ''[[Kanon]]'', ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', ''[[Sumaga]]'', ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''...
Line 177 ⟶ 170:
** This is also how all of the sequel's new characters are put into the game. Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Yoichi transfer into 2-S, Seiso transfers into 3-S, Monshiro and [[Battle Butler]] Hume transfer into 1-S, and Tsubame drops into 3-F shortly thereafter.
* Hisao of [[Katawa Shoujo]]; after having a heart attack, his doctors decided it would be best for him to go to Yamaku Academy, and he transferred in early on in his third year. All the other characters, however, most likely have attended Yamaku since they entered high school.
== Web Comics ==
Line 193 ⟶ 185:
* In the [[Whateley Universe]], Bladedancer and Carmilla and Heyoka all started at Whateley Academy late in fall term, at different times. Then Seraphim started winter term.
** [[Justified]] in that Whateley is specifically a school for young mutants, whose powers may spontaneously manifest and necessitate a sudden transfer from whatever school for 'baselines' they previously attended at any point in the school year. It would have to be a pretty atypical semester in which ''no'' New Transfer Students showed up for a change.
