Review of applications for the program will begin in February 2007. If you have completed the application process by February, expect to hear from us by late-February. Otherwise, we will be reviewing application files on an on-going basis. We plan on having the entire class selected by mid-April.

Do not cancel your session until you have been selected and confirmed to participate in STAR. Do I have to live on-campus during the STAR program? Yes, all STAR students are required to live on-campus during the program. Living in the residence hall provides students with a well-rounded summer experience. Do I have to stay on-campus during the weekends? Students are required to stay on-campus the first weekend of the program only. During the first weekend, we will be participating in a challenge course activity. On subsequent weekends, students are allowed to leave campus, but many students find they need to stay in order to study, write papers, do research, etc. The residence hall staff will be planning weekend activities for students to participate in; on weekends. Can I request a specific roommate for the program? No. A large part of the STAR experience is meeting new people and expanding your perspectives. When assigning roommates, we will purposely avoid putting students from the same high school or town together. This makes for a very rich learning experience. Can I work during the STAR program? No. The STAR program is a fun, engaging and rigorous program. STAR students should expect to be busy with classes, supplemental labs, coursework and activities well into the evening on a daily basis. Can I bring my vehicle? Yes. You will need to get a parking permit for you vehicle and due to construction on-campus, parking can be difficult at times. Should I bring a bike? That is up to you. Your classes, the residence hall, the dining hall and the Multicultural Student Center are all centrally-located. You will not need a bike to get around campus during the program. During the fall semester, a bike would be convenient. Should I bring my computer? You are welcome to bring your own computer. You will have access to the internet in your room, so it would be convenient. However, there are computer labs available in the residence hall, Multicultural Student Center and the Learning Assistance Centers. A computer is not required.
