The Alabama Articulation Program (also called STARS – Statewide Articulation Reporting System ) is a computerized articulation and transfer planning system designed to inform students who attend Alabama Community Colleges about degree requirements, course equivalents, and other transfer information pertaining to specific majors at each state funded four-year institution. STARS is an efficient and effective way of providing students, counselors, and educators with accurate information upon which transfer decisions can be made. STARS is the information link between the state’s public two-year and four-year institutions. The STARS database, if used properly, can prevent the loss of course credit hours, can provide direction for the scheduling of course work, and can ease the transition from one institution to another. Lurleen B. Wallace Community College students planning to transfer to an Alabama public senior institution must print and retain the Transfer Articulation Guide for their major along with the transfer institution’s Area V courses. The guide and Area V course listing must be submitted to the senior institution upon transfer. Failure to follow the transfer guide may result in the courses not being transferable. It is the student’s responsibility to become familiar with the requirements of the intended transfer senior institution. Students who are interested in receiving a STARS Transfer Guide should visit the STARS website at http://stars.troy.edu or contact
