What do “under review”, “need syll,” and “to dept” on my STAR transcript mean?
The Office of Admissions uses these terms to track where courses are in the evaluation process: • “Under review” means that the course description and syllabus are being reviewed, either by Admissions or by the appropriate department. • “Need Syll” means that Admissions needs a course syllabus to complete the evaluation; if you see this on your record, submit the course syllabus to Admissions as soon as possible. If you no longer have a syllabus, contact the department or instructor where you took the course and request a copy. However, you might want to talk to an academic advisor to determine whether a complete evaluation is worth the time it will take to track down a syllabus. • “To Dept” means that Admissions already has a course description or syllabus and has forwarded them to a department for review.
