Students seeking to continue onto higher education after acheiving an Associates degree from Bevill State, should become familar with STARS, which provides very specific information about the requirements in each subject area for a given transfer institution.

The STARS web site can be accessed at http://.stars.troy.edu/stars/stars.htm. From STARS, students can print a transfer guide for his/her major and enter into a binding contract with the transfer institution in his/her program of study. The contract is not binding on the student, but is binding on the transfer institution, provided that the student does not change majors and takes the courses listed on the transfer guides.

Course offerings at AL Community Colleges and their transfer equivalency are determined by the Alabama General Studies Committee (AGSC).

Academic transfer courses are divided into three groups according to their transfer status.

Code A
Common core course

Code B
Major/Minor fields of study

Code C
Additional major courses may not be transferable
