The Office of University Registrar (OUR), Cornell Information Technologies (CIT), colleges and schools will partner to implement Stellic, a degree audit planning and tracking platform and course schedule planning system.

The Degree Audit platform is a software as a service solution that will:

• Give students the tools to find, plan, and register for classes they need to fill degree requirements;
• Support the Registrar and Advising Staff to better assist students with their education goals;
• Replace existing inefficient methods of degree auditing (including spreadsheets, PDFs, forms, and homegrown solutions) with a unified degree auditing system across the Ithaca and Cornell Tech campuses.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) will be the first college to implement Stellic. The implementation will replace the Distributed Undergraduate Student Tracking System (DUST), a homegrown degree auditing solution which served CALS for nearly 20 years, but which has become fragile and inefficient. OUR, CIT, and CALS have been preparing for the upcoming solution design and installation phase since December of 2022, when Stellic was identified as the preferred vendor for a modern Degree Audit solution.

The go-live date for the Degree Audit platform alpha release within CALS is tentatively scheduled for June of 2024. All CALS programs are anticipated to be live by early 2025. Following implementation within CALS, colleges and schools will be onboarded in a phased approach from approximately 2025-2027; sequencing of this implementation is to be determined.
