Listing U.S. Colleges and Universities
If you are completing a STARS Record as a transfer applicant, list only U.S.-based colleges and universities on the Enter Schools screen.
If you are a transfer applicant and completed college courses before graduating from high school (e.g., Dual Enrollment), you should list the college or university so that you can record those courses accurately as they appear on the college transcript.
How to Search for a College or University
- Click on the Enter Schools tab.
- Click on Add School.
- Select the state where the college / university is located and type in the school’s name and click Search.
- OR: Select the State and click Search to display all colleges / universities in the selected state.
Once you select the school, it will appear on the Enter Colleges screen where you can enter your Dates of Attendance and select the Grade Scale.
If you attended this school periodically over many years, use the first month and year of attendance as the start date and the last month and year you took classes as the end date.
Note: List only U.S.-based colleges and universities. If you have completed college courses outside of the U.S., please inquire with the Office of Admissions to learn how to provide those courses and grades.
Note: Not all colleges or universities require STARS for transfer students. Always check your applicant portal or university instructions.
