To send your STARS Record to a college or university, you’ll need to do two things:
- Submit your STARS Record
- Link your record to your college application
Both steps—submitting and linking—need to be completed for your STARS Record to be sent to colleges.
Step 1: Submit Your STARS Record
- Log in to STARS.
- Click the Review/Submit tab.
- Review your information carefully.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Submit.
Step 2: Link Your STARS Record to Your College Application
The process for linking your STARS Record can vary by college. Common methods include:
- A button or checklist item in your college’s application status portal (after you submit your app)
- A personalized link emailed to you by the college
- Entering a STARS ID (formerly known as SRAR ID or SSAR ID)
- Automatching—if the email address on your STARS account matches the one used on your college application, your STARS Record will be automatically linked.
Check the My Colleges and Universities section on your STARS homepage for instructions specific to each college.
Helpful Tips
Tip: If you're redirected to a college's status portal, log in to that portal first—then look for the STARS button or checklist item!
Tip: Use the My Colleges and Universities dashboard to see whether your record has been linked and sent. Always check your college's application status portal to confirm that your record was successfully received.
