For a short overview of how to use Stellic, refer to the Stellic user guide
Students can find their academic adviser information by logging in to Self-Service. Advisers assist students with reviewing their course requirements for their program of study, and with questions and planning for opportunities like study abroad.

This page is located under Academics > Student Planning > Plan & Schedule
During your registration period, use the “Register Now” button on the Schedule screen to quickly add your class selections.
If you are not returning to Quinnipiac, please either complete a leave of absence or withdrawal form.

Log into Self-Service
Click on Student Planning
Click on View Your Progress
Click on Show Program Notes
Your adviser's name will appear with your program
If you are trying to get added to a closed section of a course, or if you do not meet the requisites, you will need special permission, which is only granted in extenuating circumstances. Learn more about requesting permission to add a course to a student schedule
