Frequently Asked Questions About STARS

1. How do I request a STARS report?

Students may request an updated STARS report through their academic advisor. Each department can request STARS report updates. Updates reflect all current (USC and transfer) coursework available and any exceptions in a student’s academic record. Students can view and print STARS report updates on OASIS.

2. Whom do I contact if I have questions regarding my STARS report?

Students with inquiries about STARS reports should first contact their academic advisor for assistance. Often, department advisors can correct data entry and other errors. At times, however, the problem may be the result of computer programming or other errors that require more time to correct. In these instances, academic advisors will alert Degree Progress to the problem.

3. I need to provide a prospective employer with evidence that I am near graduation. Can I use the STARS report for this purpose? Is the STARS report an official university document?

You may request a STARS report at any time through your OASIS account. However, it is not an official university document. It is at the prospective employer’s discretion to use a STARS report for degree verification.
