Admissions Updates – Fall 2020
During these difficult times, we are here to keep our counselor community updated on the latest changes and information regarding admissions policies in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have put together a resource page that addresses many of the concerns our counselors, students, and parents may have for our member institutions. This page includes the most up to date information from each of our institutions regarding deadlines, orientation, testing, and much more.
You can visit our COVID-19 resources and updates page here or for added convenience, we have included the link in the yellow banner throughout our website.
On behalf of the STAR Network, we hope that you find this information helpful and relevant. We will continue to provide updates and announcements as new information becomes available. Stay safe and healthy out there!

TACRAO Season Is Here!
Recruiters and Counselors, the Fall TACRAO fairs are upon us!
We have compiled the list of TACRAO fairs for the Coastal Bend, Laredo, and the Rio Grande Valley. As we get ready to hit the road and interact with students, here are a few tips for both counselors and recruiters:
Counselors
- Make sure students are registered with GoToCollegeFairs.com and selected the appropriate TACRAO week.
- Be sure to communicate any last minute updates or changes with college reps.
- Take advantage of the fair to meet new reps and collect business cards.
Recruiters
- Make sure you have shipped or brought enough materials with you. Using last year’s numbers can help, but it never hurts to have extra!
- Be sure you get enough rest and stay energized throughout the week. Bring an umbrella, mints, and other TACRAO survival gear.
- Network with other recruiters for tips on local restaurants, last minute fair changes, and any activities taking place during the week.
