Student Transition and Retention (STAR)

Office Overview

At Nevada State, we know that greatness isn’t a destination. It’s a journey. And every journey begins with a first—your first class, your first midterm, your first big breakthrough.

STAR is here to walk with you through your series of “firsts” at Nevada State University and every point in between until you walk across the stage at commencement to receive your degree.

As a key part of the Division of Student Affairs, STAR champions your growth by offering high-quality support rooted in community, opportunity, and excellence. We serve Nevada’s diverse student body with bold, intentional care that empowers you to rise, reach, and realize the excellence already within you.

Our Mission

STAR is the cornerstone of the student experience at Nevada State University. Our mission is to provide every Nevada State student with continuous support throughout their academic journey, offering vital resources and cultivating a strong, supportive community that empowers students to thrive and achieve their goals.
