STARS - Stanford Training and Registration System
On this page:
What is STARS?
The Stanford
Training
And
Registration
System
(STARS) is Stanford's implementation of PeopleSoft's Enterprise
Learning Management System (commonly referred to as either "ELM" or
"LMS"). It is a distinct module in the PeopleSoft system that provides
management with a centralized University-wide tracking tool for
compliance and training administration.
STARS is the replacement for the legacy Prism Training Registration and is available for Learners and Learning Administrators via the PeopleSoft Axess Portal.

What's new in
STARS
Calendar
Integration
- On October 9, 2009, STARS will be enhanced to integrate with
the
Stanford eMail and Calendar system (Zimbra). Phase
I integrates STARS with Learner's Calendars. Course information
(Location, Date and Time) will be automatically entered on Learners'
University calendar after successful enrollment into a classroom-based
STARS activity via the STARS Notification message. Please see the
STARS-to-Calendar FAQ
for more
information.Manager Self-Service (MSS) - On October 2, 2009, Stanford implemented MSS, to enable Managers and Supervisors to view the STARS Learning Records of their direct reports and of those within the organization tree below them. Managers can view Learning Records for individual staff members or for their entire Team. Managers may add recommended training to the Learning Plans, and view the Certification Status, of anyone in their organization tree.
STARS defines a "Manager" as the "Reports to" person listed in employees' PeopleSoft HR job record (the same structure used for Axess Timecard reporting).
Training Needs Assessment Tool (TNAT) - On July 10, 2009, Stanford completed TNAT, Training Needs Assessment Tool, as an add-on to the STARS Enterprise Learning Management solution. TNAT is a self-assessment survey, designed to assist Learners to identify required training.
STARS Enhancements - The STARS Team continues to implement a large number of enhancements and fixes to the core PeopleSoft ELM (STARS) functionality. On May 22, 2009, Stanford completed a major re-design of the STARS User Interface (UI) for Learners. These changes are designed to improve the User's experience with STARS. These changes include re-designed search functions, to make finding courses easier, and streamlining the Program Registration and Activity Enrollment processes. Please see our enhancements list for additional information regarding highlighted enhancements.
STARS Version 9 Upgrade - On December 3, 2007, Stanford completed the STARS upgrade to version 9. In 2008, Stanford upgraded its entire PeopleSoft system from verision 8.0 to version 9.0. Because STARS is a distinct module in PeopleSoft, it represented a smaller migration to version 9.0 and was implemented before the remainder of the PeopleSoft system.
From time to time, as released by PeopleSoft, STARS implements ELM Software Bundles. These Software Bundles are "bundles" of software patches, fixes and enhancements. Please see ELM Bundles for additional information regarding relevant highlights of each bundle.
Please report additional issues by filing a HelpSU Request.
