What is STARS?<\/strong>
STARS (the Self-reported Transcript and Academic Record System) is the new name for the SRAR\/SSAR. It is a uniform online tool where students self-report their high school transcripts for colleges that request this information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students receive directions to complete the STARS in their college applicant portals AFTER submitting their application. Note that there are often different deadlines and requirements for different colleges.

FAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a self-reported transcript? <\/strong>
For many applications, students will have to enter their own transcript after they hit submit on their applications. Every detail of the transcript must be accurate; therefore, the student needs to have the most current copy of the high school transcript. There is a new Easy Import<\/em> tool that should make this process easier than it has been in the past; however, we still recommend that you set aside an hour of uninterrupted time to make sure that you complete the STARS correctly the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who uses the STARS?<\/strong>
For the Class of 2026, the Self-reported Transcript and Academic Record System is used by the following schools. (Updated 9\/3\/2025)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a college see the STARS?<\/strong>
After a student submits the STARS, they also must link it to their college application portal(s). Linking methods may vary for each college\/university, so it is essential to refer to linking instructions provided by each college\/university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there other self-reported transcript tools?<\/strong>
Yes. It is not unusual for colleges to ask students to submit \u201cCourses & Grades\u201d through the Common Application. We see this for schools including Purdue University. The University of Illinois (UIUC) will email instructions on how to self-report your courses through their version of the SRAR. And University of Central Florida applicants will receive information to enter grades in SPARK, UCF\u2019s proprietary transcript record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does self-reporting grades replace the mid year grade reports or initial or final transcripts from high school?<\/strong> 
Completing the STARS, similar transcript requests, or Courses & Grades on the Common Application does NOT replace your high school reporting–sending your initial transcript this fall or your final transcript at graduation. Students should still complete the transcript request through their high school counselors (Naviance, Parchment, SCIOR, SchoolLinks, Google forms, in person requests, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details of college applications can be confusing! 

After our seniors hit submit on college applications, there is still work to do! We remind students to check email daily for messages from their colleges\/universities. They should interact with the links and information in those emails. Some colleges will provide login information for application dashboards. Some will request a self-reported transcript or a similar report of courses and grades from the student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
