Students must already be enrolled in a course as a regular student before the grading basis can be changed to audit. View more audit information.

Students may audit a course if given written permission by the instructor via an email from the instructor’s @unl.edu address to registrar@unl.edu.

Following the last day to enroll for each session (listed on the Academic Calendar), students will need written consent from both the instructor or department of a course and their advising college to enroll.

For undergraduate students, please contact their advisor to begin the Late Add process.

For graduate students, please contact Eva Bachman at ebachman1@unl.edu.

The purpose of the Correction Roster is to give you the opportunity to review a current listing of students registered in your course and verify important course information, i.e., grade type, etc. This process assists us in furnishing accurate and complete final grade rosters in the collecting and processing of final grades and in the proper assessment of tuition and fees.

When correction rosters are due, instructors will receive an email with information regarding when the correction roster is due, how to complete the roster and its significance.

For these purposes, attendance is otherwise known as “academic attendance” or “attendance at an academic-related activity” and is defined to include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students,
• Submitting an academic assignment,
• Taking an exam, interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction,
• Attending a study group that is assigned by the institution,
• Participating in an online discussion about academic matters and
• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.

Newly admitted students, undergraduate students, graduate students, NCTA students, and Nebraska law students.

• Graduates: 1 additional semester after graduation
• Students who stopped attending: after 3 semesters of non-attendance (summer counts as 1 semester)
• Dismissed students: 2 additional semesters after dismissal

If they have submitted a preferred name in MyRed, Stellic will use preferred name. If not, Stellic uses the student’s legal name. 

If you are authorized to release a specific hold, you will continue to release it in MyRed.

Official & Full

No. The "Allow student messages" feature you'll see in Settings is turned off for UNL. Even if you check the box, students will not be able to message you through Stellic. The preferred method of communication is email or advising meetings.

Currently, registration changes will not be updated to the degree audit until the overnight data update is complete. There will be product enhancements so that registration changes will appear more quickly in the degree audit. 

You can tell when PeopleSoft information was last loaded into Stellic by looking at the Date refreshed in the lower left-hand corner of your Stellic screen: 

Yes. This is called “Test Student View.” Click on your initials or profile picture in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Choose Switch to Test Student View from the menu and enter the student’s NU ID or name when prompted. 

To switch back to your advisor screens, click on your initials or profile picture and choose Switch to Admin Account from the menu. 
 

Once the CDMA process is completed, the change of major will show up the next day in Stellic. 

Keeping the Sort Option on Course Code is the easiest way to sort and advisors can make recommendations based on their knowledge of the degree and their conversation with the student. The “Recommended” sort is fed by an algorithm that combines courses completed by the student and their interests but may sort courses you would strongly recommend to the bottom. 

Use the Change History button in the top right-hand corner of the student’s profile. 

There is no section in the audit specifically for electives. Courses we have traditionally thought of as electives will be listed in the first section of the 120 Credit Hours section of the degree audit. See FAQ “What does the 120 Hours section of the degree audit trac?” [Link to question below].  

This section includes all courses that count toward degree requirements, whether part of specific major or college requirements or are accepted as electives needed to reach 120 credit hours. This section is separated into two subsections: 

1. Courses that do not fulfill other requirements. These can be thought of as true electives. This is the top section you will see when you open 120 Hours. 
2. Courses counting towards other requirements.  These are classes that students are taking for specific major, minor, or college requirements and they will be listed both in the 120 Credit hour section and in the requirement for which they count (so these will be listed twice in the audit). In some audit views, you must click on the carrot next to the 120 Hours requirement to see these classes. 

The 120 hours section of the degree audit can exceed 120 hours if the student has taken additional courses that count toward their degree. If this total is higher than 120, you should check this total to make sure that any extra courses were taken for a purpose.

Yes. This is called “Trying on” a major or minor. Here are the steps to try on a major or minor: 

• Click on Programs on the left menu bar of your screen.
• Search for a major or minor. Open the major or minor.
• Click the Try on Student button and enter the student's name or NU ID.

Nothing. This setting has been turned off for UNL.

No. Currently, Stellic places minors near the bottom of the audit after all majors.

Incomplete grades appear within the requirement for which they will count once completed. An easy way to catch these is to scan the student’s course history in the Courses tab to look for any Incompletes. 

There are several helpful tutorials on the Degree Audit Tutorial page.

Degree grades are preliminary grades submitted to the Registrar's Office to aid in graduation clearance. These grades are not final grades and can be changed once all course material has been graded.

Final grades are grades that will appear on students’ official transcript.

Once students have applied for graduation, any outstanding thesis/dissertation grades can be submitted via an EForm. Only the student’s committee chair can submit these grades.

Final grades for all terms (fall, spring and summer) are due 5 calendar days following the scheduled final exam date, excluding Sundays and holidays if applicable. Do not wait until the due date to submit grades. It will assist us and your students if your grades are submitted as soon as possible.

Failure to submit final grades by the assigned deadline will result in continued communication from the Registrar's Office regarding these grades. If grades are still not submitted, then students will be assigned an NR or “no report” on their official transcript.

For classes offered from 2010 to the present day, grade changes can be submitted through MyRED.

Thesis/Dissertation grade changes must be submitted through an EForm. View grade change form instructions.

For further assistance or troubleshooting, please contact registrar@unl.edu.

If you are not sure who your CLSS department editor is, view the list here of CLSS editors.

Whether you would like to apply for a program or take non-degree seeking courses, you will need to contact the Office of Admissions to apply. They will provide the next steps for enrollment.
