STARS will be your go-to place as a Leatherneck to access class registration, grades, financial aid information, billing information, and much more.
Access your STARS student portal to:
- Register for orientation
- Check your Financial Aid offer
Log in to STARS with your WIU ID as the username. Your date of birth (mmddyyy format) will be the temporary password when you first log in. Contact the Support Center at (309) 298-8324 (298-TECH) for assistance.
A few weeks after your admission, your transfer credit evaluation will be available in STARS. This will provide details on how your previous coursework from other institutions fits into your new WIU degree plan. Once your transfer credit evaluation is ready, you can connect with your academic advisor.
After your transfer credit evaluation is available in STARS, you are now ready to meet with your academic advisor to plan classes. The contact information for your academic advisor is in STARS. You will setup a meeting with them to begin the registration process. Official transcripts are required in order to register for classes.
One-day, on-campus Leatherneck Launch orientation programs will be held on various dates throughout the summer (June/July). There will be programs scheduled to accommodate students/guests traveling by Amtrak. Leatherneck Launch is not mandatory for transfer students but it is encouraged that you attend.
