To transform the advising experience, Trinity College launched a new collaborative, degree planning and advising tool on October 20, 2025.

Stellic is a degree planning and audit tool that gives advisers and students a unified platform to help students track and manage their degree journey. Originally built by students in collaboration with their advisers, Stellic enhances the advising experience by providing a quick and easy way for students and their advisers to organize courses for upcoming terms and view degree progress.

Stellic for students

Stellic allows you to explore majors and minors and see your progress to graduation. Here are some of the things you can do in Stellic:

  • Visualize your road to graduation: Get an overview of your path in one place, including all your completed, in-progress and remaining requirements along your program. View the updated progress icons here.
  • Try on a major: Explore the requirements for different majors and see how the courses you’ve already taken can count toward that program.
  • Plan your Trinity College journey, the smart way: Find and add courses into upcoming semester plans that match your interests and meet your requirements.

Stellic for advisers

Here are some things you’ll be able to do as an adviser in Stellic:

  • Understand each student’s context at a glance: Access a clear ‘snapshot’ that captures things like majors, minors, what-if major/minors, GPA, expected graduation date, and interests – all in one place.
  • Keep a continuous pulse on academic progress: See the completed, in-progress, and remaining requirements for all students you advise – both individually and en masse. View the updated progress icons here.
  • Quickly identify students who may need support: Use filters to quickly find subsets of students, based on factors like unmet requirements, GPA, or program. From there you can send a message or leave a note for those students.

Why Stellic?

The advising transcript in use today shows a student course history and tracks distribution requirements, but progress toward major, minor, and certification requirements is not visible to the student. While departments have their own tracking tools, being able to explore and plan, especially for undeclared students, can be challenging. The Registrar’s Office has been working with academic departments to build degree audits that match their major and minor requirements. Students will be able to “try on” a major and see how courses they have already taken could fulfill requirements. Students who have already declared a major can easily see what requirements still need to be met, allowing conversations with their adviser to focus more on questions about interests and goals and less on counting credits.

Stellic FAQs

Phase 1 of the Stellic implementation began on October 20. Students and their advisers are able to:

  1. Draft a student’s schedule for the next semester in advance of your advising appointment.
  2. See a student’s progress toward general education/distribution requirements.
  3. Visualize a student’s road to graduation
  4. Students can “Try on” a major

The following major plans are published:

American Studies Engineering Physics
Biochemistry English Political Science
Biology Environmental Science Public Policy and Law
Chemistry History Psychology
Computer Science Mathematics Theater and Dance
Economics Neuroscience
Philosophy

Minors:

Our goal is to roll out the majors with the most students as soon as possible and to have programs from across the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. There are several majors and a few minors in progress.

Stellic will be a companion to the advising transcript at launch. All of a student’s courses, grades, and distribution requirement progress are visible in Stellic. As more programs come online, Stellic may become the preferred tool to track student progress.

Stellic is designed to allow you to see how the courses you’ve already taken might apply to any published major.

The planner function in Stellic offers a robust tool to build your schedule for upcoming semesters.

  • View courses by remaining requirements for a major
  • Use the progress view to take advantage of the audit interface to choose courses
  • Search all courses and see how they can count for different majors and distribution requirements
  • Drag and drop courses into upcoming semesters
  • Share your plan with your adviser so they know the courses you have been thinking about in advance of your advising session
