There are up to four different ways a college or university can request your high school course list and grades. One of method is called the STARS- Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System Self-Reported Academic Record.
Some colleges require you to use the STARS as part of your application process, which allows you to enter your academic history directly into their system rather than send official transcripts right away.
You can also upload your transcript into STARS and then check and update any needed changes as well.
This makes the process easier and faster.
How Does STARS Work?
Some colleges will ask you to create a STARS account and input your high school courses and grades exactly as they appear on your transcript. This means you’ll need to be accurate and thorough when entering all of your high school courses, GPA and any 12th-grade courses you’ve completed or are currently taking.
You can use an unofficial transcript or online report card to help fill in STARS. STARS may also give you the option to self report your test scores from college entrance exams like the SAT, depending on what that particular university requires.
