Self-Reported transcript and Academic Record system (STARS)
Florida Atlantic University uses the Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS)— formerly SSAR—service for the reporting of school transcripts. This allows students to enter all courses and associated grades that have been attempted, or will be attempted, for high school and/or college credit without requiring the submission of an official transcript to the university (official transcripts will be required after high school graduation only).
Students should have their official grades at hand when reporting this information, as inaccurate information may affect enrollment and scholarship status.
International freshman applicants attend a variety of different educational systems. Students educated in the United States, or attending a school that follows an educational curriculum patterned after the U.S. system, should create the Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS) with the directions below.
All applicants with foreign credentials should submit an official NACES member evaluation of their transcripts of all secondary school records and/or examination results.
