STARS uses the Dates of Attendance you enter on the Enter High Schools page to generate academic year sections (e.g., 09/2023 to 06/2024) in the Enter Coursework section.
Switching Schools or Returning to a Previous One
If any of the following apply to you, follow the steps below to ensure all academic years appear correctly:
- You switched high schools and later returned to a previous one
- You transferred mid-year or mid-semester
Step 1: Temporarily Enter Full Dates for Each School
- Use your original high school start date (e.g., 09/2022) for each school you attended.
- Enter your expected or actual graduation date as the end date (e.g., 06/2026), even if you did not attend that school the entire time.
Alert: This step ensures that all academic years are visible in the Enter Coursework section.
Step 2: Enter Your Courses
Record the courses you took under the correct academic year, based on when and where you took them.
Step 3: Fix the Dates of Attendance
- Return to the Enter High Schools page.
- Update the actual Dates of Attendance for each school.
- Click the Enter Courses icon after each update to save your changes.
Tip: This process lets you record all coursework accurately — even if you changed schools — while correcting your Dates of Attendance before submission.
