STAR (Students’ Temporary Assistance and Resources) is a network of programs providing students with everything they need to thrive and flourish during their time at Georgia Tech. We believe every Georgia Tech student can succeed, but every student’s situation is unique. Sometimes an unfortunate circumstance can derail a student’s academic progress, and temporary assistance is needed to get back on track. Also, access to resources varies among students; it is imperative that all students have access to the resources they need. Through the STAR Network, students receive the temporary assistance and resources they need to succeed at Georgia Tech.
