Stellic is a dynamic advising support platform that empowers students as they navigate their program of study at UNK. Stellic offers comprehensive course planning and communication tools, enabling students to explore academic options, manage requirements, and connect with advisors and support systems. Stellic also enhances the advising experience for advisors with tools that help advisors keep track of their students’ plans and progress, and features that promote engagement between students, advisors, and faculty.
Stellic serves all students, as well as faculty and staff who serve advising roles across the University. As a holistic advising support platform, Stellic is an essential tool for every individual who plays a role in guiding UNK students on their path to success.
Students benefit from enhanced course planning tools that help them explore majors and minors, discover new classes, and design potential paths for future semesters. Students are able to connect with advisors across the University, send and receive messages, and build a schedule that meet their preferences. Advisors are able to review students’ academic plans, communicate with students, and create custom reports-- all within one platform.
UNK has a complex academic environment, offering a rich array of academic programs and opportunities across schools. Providing a platform that helps students navigate this environment and finding resources and support is key for student retention. Stellic will make it easier for students to explore academic programs and find resources and opportunities related to their academic goals. Students will benefit from streamlined processes and personalized support, and advisors will benefit from tools that facilitate proactive and tailored guidance.
Training and support for students is offered as they gain access to Stellic. Training will be offered both in-person and online resources will be housed within the Stellic For Students page. The Office of the University Registrar (OUR) is currently developing training materials and opportunities. Staff will be available via email for ongoing support.
Yes. Stellic is not a replacement for MyBLUE. MyBLUE performs a variety of functions and contains types of information that Stellic does not.
Not currently. Stellic will provide students with robust tools to plan classes for upcoming and future semesters, and to communicate with advisors. Students will continue to register for classes in MyBLUE until notified otherwise.
Students will receive emails from the Office of the University Registrar as the platform becomes available to them. They will not need to take any special action to gain access. The project team will provide online guides and email support. Please contact us at unkstellic@unk.edu with any questions.

Official audit: Courses taken or currently registered
Planned audit: Includes courses the student has planned out in Stellic
Please pay attention to which audit type you are viewing when reviewing and advising as official and planned will not always provide the same information.
Yes, students are able to send messages directly to their advisors through Stellic. Likewise, advisors can message students individually or through bulk messages. More about messaging feature and functions.
Once a student has completed a program or plan change form in MyBlue, a staff member of the Register's office will apply the request. The change will display in Stellic the next day as the system refreshes overnight.
To view the history of changes such as exceptions, program and plan changes click the clock icon in the top right of the student's profile page. You can view the history of actions made by advisors, students, registrar staff or data updates, on a student's plan.
A side-bar will appear to display actions taken on a student's plan. You can see actions to the entire plan, or actions done *to* a certain semester, using the drop-down menu at the top as well as who made the changes and when.
There is no section grouping of unrestricted electives. Courses that are not being applied to a major or minor, but are being applied to other requirements such as the institutional requirements can be viewed from the 120 Overall Hours Required Section.
The 120 Overall Hour Required section includes all courses a student has completed, is currently enrolled in and registered for in the next term. Transfer courses and unrestricted electives are also placed here. Courses that are being used to fulfill more than one program requirement are indicated with a double checkmark icon. Courses without that icon are designated as unrestricted electives. See progress icons definitions and how they are used to fulfill program requirements.
Incomplete grades appear within the requirement for which they will count once completed. An easy way to catch these is to scan the student’s course history in the Courses tab to look for any Incomplete. Or scan the degree audit and look for courses graded with an I.
The unmatched courses are grouped at the very bottom of the degree audit. Unmatched courses are taken or completed courses that do not fulfill any requirements. Typically unmatched courses include courses where a student failed or withdrew or repeated and the second attempt was completed with a higher grade. In rare circumstances, if a student has completed a course more times than allowed, Stellic will place those credits in the unmatched course section. Approval from the Registrar's office is needed to make that specific exception.
If you are thinking of adding a major, minor or completely changing your program you can "try on" a program and apply your current degree audit to view which courses and requirements have been satisfied and to see what are the remaining courses and requirements.
To do this Click on Programs on the left menu bar of your screen and Search for a major or minor. Open the major or minor. Under the About tab, your degree audit will display with your current program first and below that will be the Major or Minor you evaluating. The Pathway tab at the top of your page will allow you to review courses and apply the Pathway to your Student Plan.
To officially change your program, you will still need to complete the Program Change form in MyBLue.
