Dawn's a star at university (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sun-up

'dawn's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a star at university' is the wordplay.
'a star' becomes 'sun' (Sun is an example).
'at university' becomes 'up'.
'sun'+'up'='SUN-UP'

(Another definition for sun-up that I've seen is " Dawn".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
