Stellic Student Guide – Your Degree Progress

How to Access

1. Log into Stellic by using the link in your WINGS Student Center homepage or by using the link in the red ribbon on UWL's website. You will be taken to the Stellic site.
   
   
   
   
2. From the left side menu, select Track Progress, or select See Progress under the "Track: Graduation Requirements" tile.
   
   
   
   
3. Your profile is listed at the top, followed by the Official Progress bar summary, your Advisor, CGPA (cumulative UWL GPA), and your currently enrolled courses.
   1. Degree Progress Bar: The degree progress bar displayed at the top reflects the total progress of your Official major/minor/college level audits (not planned). This progress excludes the university level degree requirements. Hover over the bar for a breakdown of units/credits that count in your programs.
      1. Taken includes any course with a passing grade that counts toward your academic progress
      2. Registered includes courses you’re officially registered for at UWL.
      3. Remaining indicates the number of classes listed in your program requirements that you have not yet taken or registered for.
   2. University degree requirements are listed at the bottom of your audit. This includes the 120 credit requirement and 40 credits at the 300/400-level requirement.
   3. More details on your profile are in this KB article.
4. Scroll down past your enrolled courses. There are four tabs: Progress, Plans, Courses, and Requests. On the Progress tab, scroll down to see your degree progress report. This report can also be viewed from the Plans tab if you select that tab and Edit in Planner. More information on the Plans view is in this KB article.

Overview of Progress tab

1. Progress, Plans, Courses, Requests:
   • Progress: This page shows how your courses fulfill the requirements in your degree audit.
   • Plans: This page shows the courses by term. The system will default to this view.
   • Courses: This page lists the courses you have already taken or are official registered in, chronologically by term. Any transfer or test credit is listed first, followed by each term of enrollment.
   • Requests: This page lists any requests you may have sent to your advisor.
2. Official/Planned: The report will show the programs (such as majors or minors) and other requirements (General Education) that you have declared or are required for your degree. Each program will have a breakdown of courses/units taken and the GPA specific to that program. You can view your progress in two ways:
   • Official Audit Progress: Shows only classes already taken or registered. This is the default view.
   • Planned Audit Progress: Shows both courses already taken or registered and also the classes you have planned out from the Plans tab.
3. Full Audit: There are several formatting options for how you want to view your audit:
   • Full audit: This option lets you see the required courses easily and is the default format. The "fulfill all" type requirements are expanded so you can see the required courses. The other requirements are automatically collapsed. Other requirements may be elective options or GPA requirements. Select the grey box after the requirement title to see more details.
   • Compact: All requirements are collapsed.
   • Remaining: This view shows only the requirements that the student has remaining, by program.
   • Unplanned: Only appears when on the Planned version of your audit. Only shows remaining requirements but will also exclude requirements satisfied by planned.
   • Expanded audit: Expands all requirements and constraints of the audit.
   • All Remaining: This view shows only the requirements that the student has remaining but does not say the requirement titles or to which program the requirement belongs.
   • All Unplanned: Only appears when on the Planned version of your audit. This view shows remaining requirements but does not say the requirement titles or to which program the requirement belongs. Requirements satisfied by planned courses are also excluded.
4. The Progress report/Degree Audit: The specific requirements you must complete to earn a degree at UWL.

Your Degree Progress (also called a Degree Audit)

Your degree progress starts with a heading indicating the type of degree you are earning (e.g. BS = Bachelor of Science; BA = Bachelor of Arts; MS = Master of Science). Your first major is listed on this line as your primary program, and the specific requirements for your major are listed farther down.

Audit requirements are listed in this order for undergraduates:

1. General Education Program requirements
2. First major or graduate program
3. 2nd Major, minor, certificate, microcredental requirements, if any
4. Pre-professional
5. College core options, if any
6. University degree requirements
7. Unmatched courses

Graduate students will just have their graduate program requirements and then university degree requirements.

To graduate, a student must have all requirements satisfied or waived.

Expand or collapse sections

Each section of the degree audit lists the individual requirements that apply to that program. Each

requirement can have its own sub-requirements. The audit default is to expand requirements that

have a list of required courses and collapse the lists of elective courses.

Expand or collapse each section using the arrows behind each requirement line. The arrow will point to the right if section is collapsed and will point down if expanded. As you review your report, select the arrows to expand the section and view more details.

Whether or not a requirement is complete can be determined by the icon to the left of the requirement. Green indicates completed, Red indicates not completed or planned, Orange indicates In Progress, and Grey indicates not completed or in progress. Light Orange indicates Planned and will only show if you are in the Planned view of the report.

Progress bars, Credits totals, and GPAs

Progress bar: On the right are mini progress bars which summarize your progress visually for each section. If you are on the top progress bar for your degree, it will give a summary of your whole report.

Green indicates Taken, Orange indicates In Progress, and grey indicates not completed or in progress. Light Orange indicates Planned and will only show if you are in the Planned view of the report.

Hover over each part of the bar with your mouse to bring up a summary of courses/credits taken, in-progress, registered, and remaining. The bolded line is the part of the progress bar you are hovering over.

Credit totals: Select the credit total to see a summary of how that number was calculated. In this example, the student has 6 in-progress, 18 planned, and 14 taken credits for a total of 38 credits. The other categories of credits are at zero, but there is also a placeholder category because we are on the Planned view. The types of credits listed are:

• Taken course credits: Total credits taken and completed that count toward this requirement
• In-progress course credits: Total credits enrolled in the current term that count toward this requirement
• Registered course credits: Total credits registered in the future (does not include current inprogress credit) that count toward this requirement
• Planned course credits: Total credits of courses planned but not yet taken or registered in that count toward this requirement
• Waitlisted course credits: Total credits of waitlisted courses, once you have started registering for the next term, that count toward this requirement
• Cart course credits: Total course credits in your registration shopping cart that count toward this requirement
• Placeholders: Requirements planned with course options, meaning the student has to select a course from the placeholder's options. For example, a placeholder in the plan could be "Choose MGT 301 or MKT 301." Once the student has put either MGT 301 or MKT 301 into their planner where that requirement was and saved, the placeholder label will disappear.

This example also shows how the progress bar summary changes if it’s the Planned version. Keep in mind that the number of credits is different from the number of courses. Notice the line for Planned courses. This student has planned 18 credits (6 courses) that will count toward this program requirement.

The CGPA vs PGPA:

The CGPA is your UWL cumulative grade point average and includes grades from all courses taken at UWL (in residence). This GPA includes "F" grades unless the course has been repeated for a better grade. The CGPA is at the top of your progress page in your profile and in your degree requirements. This is the GPA used to determine academic standing and most other GPA requirements unless otherwise stated.

A PGPA is a specific program's cumulative grade point average. There are two different types of PGPAs:

1. The PGPA called the "resident major or "resident minor" GPA may be a requirement in your major or minor. This GPA requirement is usually listed near the end of the program requirements as an additional check. Only courses that count toward this specific program and courses taken at UWL (in residence) will count in this GPA. This GPA includes "F" grades.
   
   
   
   
2. A PGPA also appears at the top of each program (e.ge. major, minor, general education program). Only courses that count toward that specific program are included in the GPA. Courses that count in milestones do not count toward the PGPA. This GPA includes transfer credit but excludes "F" grades.
   
   

Status Icons

Once you are looking at each individual requirement in your report, you'll see an icon to the left of each line with a number, checkmark or other image in it. This icon indicates the requirement's current status at each level of the report. For users with "Better Interaction" mode enabled, these icons are replaced with letters for improved accessibility. For a full list of icons & symbols, refer to the Icons guide on UWL’s Records website.

Each icon has a color:

• Green fill: Has been satisfied.
• Orange fill: In progress or registered in future term
• Orange outline: You are on the waitlist for the course or course is planned
• Red outline: Remaining, not satisfied
• Grey: Optional. In some cases, it indicates the requirement has been waived.

Images or letters indicate the type of requirement:

• Flag or M: Milestones. Milestones address non-course requirements that count in your degree progress.
• Clock or IP: In progress
• Checkmark or T: Course or requirement is satisfied. This is in green.
• Checkmark or W: Course or requirement is waived. This is in green.
• Checkmark or P: Course or requirement is planned. This is in orange.
• Hourglass or WL: Course is waitlisted. This is in orange.

The number listed is the number of courses and/or milestones that are unsatisfied under that requirement.

A few other symbols will be on courses counting toward your progress to provide additional information. They will be on the right hand side. Hover over them to see more information.

• Two circled checkmarks with a line connecting: Course is counting toward multiple requirements (a.k.a. double counting)
• A two-way arrow: Course is being used as an equivalent to the normally required course.
• Black circle with exclamation mark: Informational note (e.g., Course was taken but was not required)
• Red circle with exclamation mark: Additional information requires attention (e.g., Course was taken but grade requirement was not met)
• Line in a right angle with dots on either end: Course is fulfilling a parent requirement and may appear in multiple locations.
  
  

Constraints descriptions

Each requirement has at least one constraint (rule saying which courses can count). These are

normally collapsed and only the courses that are counting already or which are required to be

taken (instead of as an elective) will show. To see more details for what can count in that category,

select the grey Constraint box next to the requirement's title. Select it again to close it.

Unmatched Courses

There may be Unmatched Courses listed at the end of your progress report. These are courses you

have taken, or which are in the planner if you are on the Planned view, but do not count towards a

particular requirement (i.e., major, minor, certificate). However, they may count in the overall 

credits needed to graduate (120 for undergraduate students). Select the Learn more link to see

reasons why the course may be listed as unmatched.
