Degree Planning Modernization
Four-year Planning | Registration | Degree Audit
Enhanced Tools for Students and Advisors
The University of Utah has awarded a contract to Stellic to become our future platform for degree audit, 4-year planning, and registration. Implementation will take place over the next two years, enhancing academic planning and supporting our commitment to accessible, high-quality education.
Thank you to the members of the RFP requirements group, selection committee, and special teams for their thoughtful collaboration in evaluating our needs and selecting this important tool.
Our Commitment
The University of Utah is committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience to its diverse and growing student body. In support of this mission, the University seeks a future-proof degree audit and planning tool that seamlessly integrates with PeopleSoft’s Campus Solutions Student Information System, along with other platforms like EAB’s Navigate and Salesforce. The selected solution must meet current needs while also being adaptable to future growth and changes in academic programs.
Improved Experience
The primary goal of this project is to implement a user-friendly tool that simplifies the process of navigating complex curricular requirements for students, advisors, and administrators. The tool will offer an intuitive interface accessible to users of all experience levels and compatible with a variety of devices. It must also align with ADA standards to ensure accessibility for all members of the University community.
- An intuitive interface designed for ease of use by students, advisors, and administrators.
- Course plans automatically generated for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students based on their degree audits, with "What-If" scenarios to explore alternative academic paths.
- Planning tools that allow students to adjust their schedules in real time, plan for future terms, and receive notifications for important deadlines.
- Holistic degree audits that accommodate multiple credentials (e.g., majors, minors, certificates) and non-course requirements.
- Advisor and administrator capabilities to modify course plans, lock specific requirements, and set distributed security controls for managing exceptions and waivers.
- Robust reporting features for course demand planning, identifying students who are off track, and other analytical needs.
- A scalable and adaptable design to support the University’s evolving academic programs and ensure the system meets future needs.
February 2, 2026 Update
Happy February!
We hope the Spring semester has been off to a great start. We are pleased to announce that we have hit a major milestone in our Degree Planning Modernization Project!
Stellic: Live for Law and Dentistry Programs
Our new degree progress platform is now officially live for all College of Law and School of Dentistry students, advisors, and administrators.
What’s New? Who Has Access?
- Law and Dentistry students can access Stellic via a new tile on the CIS Student Homepage called “Law & Dental Degree Progress”
- Law and Dentistry advisors and administrators can access Stellic via a new tile on the CIS Advisor Homepage
College of Law and School of Dentistry will communicate with and work to onboard their students in Stellic in conjunction with their advising processes and schedules.
*Undergraduate students, advisors, and administrators should continue to access degree audits through the existing Degree Audit tile via CIS.
Why This Matters?
Stellic will help streamline academic planning, improve transparency around degree requirements, and support students and advisors with a clearer, more intuitive tool. It will also provide on-demand access to more information, including ability to pull reports, and search for/filter specific data elements.
Next Up: Undergraduate Programs
We are excited to gather feedback and learn from the experiences of our College of Law and School of Dentistry students, advisors, and administrators in Stellic as we build undergraduate programs.
We are taking a phased approach to allow us to collaborate with key stakeholders, ensuring accuracy for audits and a smooth transition for each undergraduate School/College. We will be contacting individual Colleges and departments directly as they enter the build queue. This helps to ensure that every program receives dedicated support as we work toward the planned launch for all undergraduate students and programs in 2027.
We cannot express enough our heartfelt appreciation for the time, effort, and work going into understanding undergraduate degree audit exceptions and analyzing curricular design and delivery. We would love to collaborate with you in those endeavors, so please do not hesitate to reach out directly to our Office of the Registrar teams:
