General FAQs

What is Stellic?

Stellic is a dynamic advising support platform that empowers students as they navigate their academic and personal path at UVA. It 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.

Why has UVA implemented Stellic for students and advisors?

UVA has a complex academic environment, offering a rich array of academic programs and opportunities across schools. Students report that navigating this environment and finding resources and support can be challenging.  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. The adoption of Stellic will help us to provide a holistic and equitable experience for every UVA undergraduate.

Who uses Stellic?

Stellic serves all undergraduate students, some graduate students, and 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 UVA students on their path to success.

When will graduate and professional students begin using Stellic?

Beginning in fall 2025, students enrolled in accelerated master’s programs and their advisors will begin to use Stellic. The planning underway for the undergraduate implementation and lessons learned through the fall semester will inform the approach to the expansion to graduate and professional schools. Maintaining one degree audit system assures accuracy and compliance within our institution and our tool of choice, Stellic, provides this system for all undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
