DegreeCat update

At the beginning of April, the DegreeCat Project determined that the necessary progress had not been made to be confident in a successful launch of Stellic to the first wave of students on May 30. That launch was postponed and an executive review of the project was completed.

As a result of this review, University work on Stellic has been paused until at least January 2023. At that time, a determination will be made on if the University has a good path forward to launching Stellic with confidence or if different options to meet the institution’s needs should be explored.

This decision was not made lightly. It was after careful consideration of the current status of the project and the resources needed to be successful with the Coursedog (our replacement for ECAS, PCAS, and University Catalogs) implementation.

The DegreeCat project team has done a tremendous amount of work over the past year to keep things moving forward with the Stellic implementation and to ensure University students have a system they can trust for degree planning. They will take the next few weeks to wrap up work and document what has been done before fully shifting focus to the implementation of Coursedog.
