Applying to UF or FSU? Then you'll need to complete the STARS
Applying to UF or FSU? Don’t forget to complete your STARS (formally knows as the SSAR: Student Self-Reported Academic Record) instead of sending your official high school transcript. In fact, don’t send a transcript unless you’re accepted and make a commitment to attend one of these universities.
Both FSU and UF recommend that you complete the STARS before submitting your application – and, luckily, they use the same STARS, so you only have to complete it once if you’re applying to both of them.
Your application to UF or FSU isn’t considered complete – and won’t be reviewed – until the university also gets your application fee, STARS, and official SAT or ACT score report. UF’s STARS deadline are outlined below:
