Additional Transfer Information:

In order to obtain a complete transfer agreement, the student MUST also print the Area V page for the major from the institution to which the student plans to transfer. (NOTE: Some institutions are still in the process of building/updating their Area V pages for each of their majors. If you are unable to locate the additional Area V information from the receiving institution's transfer page, request the information from the institution's contact person. The contact page may be found here.)

All transfer students should:

  • Print a copy of the guide for your use and verification purposes.
  • Meet with your advisor to discuss the guide and the requirements listed. (There is no way the STARS System can tell you everything you need to know!)
  • Obtain a new guide if you change majors.
  • Read the entire guide and agreement carefully.
  • Follow the instructions listed on the guide and in the agreement.
  • Research institutions to which you plan to transfer (admissions requirements vary from institution to institution).
  • Understand that this entire system is a work-in-progress. (PLEASE BE PATIENT!) We are constantly working to improve and enhance our service.

Thank you for using the STARS system!
