The STAR on the Timetable is to allow you to filter the schedule by classes that you have marked as favourites. To mark classes as favourites, please go to SERVICES and then go through the list of classes. Here you STAR the classes you want. Then on the timetable you can select the STAR and only view classes that you have starred.
