STAR: Successful Transition and Academic Readiness

Jump-start your university experience with the NAU STAR program

The Successful Transition and Academic Readiness (STAR) program ensures new freshmen who are Arizona residents a successful transition from high school into college.

In just over four weeks during the summer prior to the fall semester, you will take two classes that will fulfill liberal studies requirements and apply toward your undergraduate degree. You will get to know other new students, participate in peer mentoring, learn about NAU and the resources through programming, and connect with one another and the STAR Program staff through engagement activities. During STAR you will get to know the campus, our resources, one another, and the many opportunities available to you at NAU.
