STARS - What is STARS?

What is STARS? ______

History and Background

STARS stands for Statewide Transfer & Articulation Reporting System. STARS is a web-accessible database system which provides guidance and direction for prospective transfer students in the State of Alabama.

The STARS System allows public two-year students in Alabama to obtain a Transfer Guide/Agreement for the major of their choice. This guide/agreement, if used correctly, guides the student through their first two years of coursework and prevents loss of credit hours upon transfer to the appropriate public four-year university in Alabama. Although transfer guides/agreements can only be printed for two-year to four-year transfers, the STARS system can still provide guidance and direction to transfer students who have a different transfer situation.

The Alabama Articulation and General Studies Committee (AGSC) is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of the STARS System. The information that students receive from the STARS System has been approved by the AGSC.

AGSC Approved Course Listings (Areas I-IV) ______

One of the primary functions of the AGSC is to work hand-in-hand with the established discipline committees (faculty groups) to approve basic general studies courses for all of the public four-year institutions of higher education and the two-year college system in Alabama. When a course appears on an approved listing it simply means that it has been vetted through the AGSC and degree credit should be awarded upon transfer if the equivalent course is required in the transfer student's chosen major/program.

The public institutions of higher education in Alabama have all agreed to honor and SPECIAL NOTE: accept the courses approved for transfer by the AGSC. In some cases, additional courses may be required depending on major requirements or accreditation ...... mandates. 2-YR TRANSFER STUDENTS Below are links to these approved course listings. You can view them by AREA (I, II, III, or IV) or alphabetically. All two-year transfer students are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to obtain an individual transfer guide in their chosen major. DO NOT TAKE RANDOM COURSES THAT ARE LISTED AS AGSC APPROVED. The STARS Transfer Guide is designed to provide specific information regarding transfer coursework in a given major. Some majors require specific course selection in AREAS I-IV that, if taken, better prepare the students for success in their junior and senior years. MAKE SURE Two-Year Institutions* A-Z Area I-IV YOU GET THE GUIDE!

4-YR TRANSFER STUDENTS Alabama A&M University A-Z Area I-IV All four-year transfer students should print the approved course listing for their current institution then schedule a time to meet Alabama State University A-Z Area I-IV with an advisor or counselor at the institution to which they plan to transfer in order to verify how these approved courses will transfer into their selected program/major. The STARS System DOES Auburn University A-Z Area I-IV NOT provide 4-year to 4-year transfer guides. Therefore, it is the student's responsibility to make sure the courses they are taking at their current four-year Auburn University in Montgomery A-Z Area I-IV institution will ultimately transfer to their designated transfer institution.
