How to Use STARS 

Advantages of STARS

It's simple to guarantee that your credits will transfer. After you enter the STARS website, you can select "How to Use STARS" for instructions to print a Transfer Guide.

New!  STARS now has live help available! See below for details.

Transfer Guide: Your printable Transfer Guide lists what Northeast courses to take for your major at your chosen public university.

  • The Transfer Guide will be honored for 4 years after the date you print it.

  • Instructions may tell you to print some additional information and attach it as part of your Transfer Guide.

  • Print the Transfer Guide and other university information for your records and a second copy for your advisor to keep on file.

  • You are required to have a Transfer Guide at Northeast registration and give your advisor a copy.

  • You may print as many different Transfer Guides as you want for different majors and different universities. When you decide on one Guide, you must follow it completely.

Areas: All majors in STARS require courses in five Areas, the same five areas in the Northeast curriculum:

Area I: Written Composition
Area II: Humanities & Fine Arts
Area III: Natural Sciences & Mathematics
Area IV: History, Social, & Behavioral Sciences
Area V: Pre-professional, Major; & Elective Courses (Area V courses may vary by university, as shown on university websites and STARS.)
