Special note for JHU students:
Stellic is an academic planning tool that was chosen after a comprehensive two-year evaluation process and we believe students will appreciate and greatly benefit from its modern functionality. Since last summer, our project team has been working diligently to transition our degree audit tool to Stellic across the university. Unfortunately, as implementation started, the technical team encountered unforeseen challenges that resulted in significant changes to our timeline. The university is working to get this new dynamic system up and running as quickly as possible and we are making good progress towards this goal.
Students can currently access a PDF of their degree audit information in SIS that shows course information as of 7/7/2023. Course registrations and grades after this time are not on this document but available within the student information system.
All official major and minor requirements are located in the academic catalogue for each school.
Undergraduate students enrolled at the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences or Whiting School of Engineering:
- Both WSE and KSAS maintain departmental webpages which often have additional guidance for students. Please be sure to visit your specific departmental webpage for specific guidance pertaining to you.
- Note that KSAS Advising also has a repository of fillable PDF checklists students may use to track requirements, as well as academic plan templates to create, or complete your four year academic plans.
- In addition, you can consult with your advisor during your mandatory advising meeting this spring.
Thank you for your patience as we work to stand up this new system for you to utilize. Check back for updates. In the meantime, you may read more about the Stellic platform and its features below:
Easily understand academic progress at JHU
Stellic provides a holistic degree audit that communicates progression toward all requirements, ensuring students and their advisors can visualize all elements of progress to completion in one place. This could include general education requirements, major, minor, what-if major, dual major, dual degree, residency requirements, milestones, etc.
The tool makes use of color-coding and other cues to allow students and advisors/staff to visualize requirements met, planned and unplanned.
Quickly access your key student information in one place
Stellic provides a clear view or ‘snapshot’ of any of your majors, minors, what-if major/minors, GPAs, enrolled term, expected graduation date, credits completed, courses planned, courses yet not planned, and interests.
Create personalized degree plans and collaborate with advisors
Easily search for courses
You can do a one-click search for courses themselves based on your interests, prerequisites cleared, preferred timing, open seats, timing, and much more.
Plan courses for future terms
You can also leverage a planning tool that provides a full academic plan personalized to your unique situation; you can then share this plan with your advisor. You can drag and drop any course, milestone, or activity into any semester. Stellic then checks to see if that is a wise decision based on if a course is typically offered, if you are over or under-enrolled, if the course conflicts with another course in your plan, if the course is likely to be offered, or if the course isn’t counting toward any degree requirements.
While planning, Stellic also displays a side-bar of your degree audit so you can drag a course from their audit into their planner, which includes how all of your transfer credits, AP scores, placement testing, etc. impact your remaining requirements.
Since students and advisors share the same view of degree plans within Stellic, you can collaborate in real-time and make adjustments to plans together where needed. This will enable seamless support from advisors while still empowering students at JHU to take ownership and understand exactly what you need to get to graduation as quickly as possible.
Identify best-fit courses for the most efficient path to graduation
When you plan a course, Stellic communicates the degree requirements it will satisfy. In many cases it will meet more than one, and Stellic communicates where it will double, triple and even quadruple count, always suggesting courses that will knock out the most open requirements. This can help you understand the most efficient path to graduation at JHU, as well as other options you may have along the way.
Build a personalized schedule
Stellic also provides a next-semester scheduler. You can take your next semester courses in your plan, and have these moved to a schedule that automatically chooses the best section based on other co-curricular activities you might have, as well as personal preferences (e.g. “I’m a morning person” or “I like a schedule that has courses spread apart”). From there, you can choose different selections and even drag-select an open slot of time and see suggested courses to possibly squeeze in. The Stellic scheduler can communicate open seats, reg-holds, waitlists, section constraints, etc. You can then share your schedule with your advisor for review.
