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.

December 17, 2025 Update
Thank you to everyone who attended the Registrar’s Office Summit on Tuesday, December 2. For those who couldn’t join us, here’s a quick update on the initial launch of Stellic for the School of Dentistry and the S.J. Quinney College of Law.
This Fall, we:
- Held discovery sessions to review timelines and better understand curricula, operational needs, and business processes with partners from Dentistry and Law.
- Built initial degree audits for the JD and DDS programs (along with their certificates) through strong collaboration with our Dentistry and Law partners, Degree Progress, Student Systems, and Curriculum Management and Academic Planning teams.
- Reviewed and refined audits with the Law and Dentistry partners, ensuring accuracy and incorporating feedback.
- Completed detailed student-progress testing to confirm audits are functioning as expected and ready for launch.
We are now in the final stretch—adding finishing touches and training advisors and administrators for a smooth rollout in January.
As we reflect on the year, Stellic is more than a new four-year planning, registration, and degree audit tool; it’s an opportunity to strengthen collaboration and transform how we support student success. Stellic gives us a shared platform to make that collaboration easier and more impactful.
We are excited to get Dentistry and Law advisors, administrators, and students into Stellic and learn from their experiences. As we continue to ramp up towards a Fall 2027 Undergraduate launch, your feedback will help us keep improving and make this tool even more valuable for our campus community.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this excellent work!
