Alabama Transfers (formerly STARS) is a web-accessible database system that provides guidance and direction for prospective transfer students in the State of Alabama.
The Alabama Transfers system allows students, advisors, faculty, and administrators to obtain the most current and approved transfer information from the Alabama Articulation and General Studies Committee (AGSC). Prospective transfer students can log onto the Alabama Transfers system and obtain a transfer guide for their chosen major that prescribes the coursework needed in the first 60-64 semester hours (SH) of their degree program. If a student follows the guide and does not change majors, they should receive degree credit upon transfer to the receiving institution.
The Alabama Transfers 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 generated for two-year to four-year transfers, the Alabama Transfers system can still provide guidance and direction to transfer students who have a different transfer situation.
The information that students receive from the Alabama Transfers system has been approved by the AGSC.
