The Self-reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS) is a platform that allows students to submit their academic history directly to participating colleges and universities.

Through STARS, you can report:

• The schools you’ve attended 

• Your courses and grades

• In-progress or planned coursework

Some colleges may also request that you submit:

• Standardized test scores 

• Exams (such as AP, IB, or AICE)

• Documents, such as unofficial transcripts

Note: These additional items will only appear in your STARS Record if a college you’re applying to requires them.

Instead of sending an official transcript when you apply, many colleges use STARS to collect this information directly from you. It helps streamline the admissions process and gives you more control over how and when your academic information is submitted.
