Search and Add Course to your Plan
Course Search is a powerful tool available from either the Explore Courses tab or the sidebar from the Progress tab, Planner, Schedule, and the Registration cart. Use it to find and add courses to your academic plan. These instructions cover how to find a course from your planner.
Navigate to your institution's Stellic login page and sign in with your credentials.
Click Plan your Path from the left navigation panel.
From the Plan your Path page, the screen is split into two sections: your planned semesters, and on the right, tabs for:
Remaining (unplanned requirements)
Progress (towards your program - this is identical to the Track Your Progress tab on the left navigation panel)
Search Courses
Select Search Courses.
Enter the keywords you want to search. Apply filters as necessary to find the best matches:

Optional: Select the Only with cleared prerequisites checkbox for the search to filter for courses for which you have met pre-requisite requirements.

If you have added a specific section to your plan, Stellic shows just the data for that section
Additionally, for taken and transferred courses, you can see:

Completed credits
Applicable tags and transfer notes
You can add courses directly to your plan from this information panel by clicking Add to Plan and selecting the desired campus and semester.
Find Course Sections
Browsing Available Sections
When you open a course, you'll see condensed section previews that show essential information at a glance. By default, only sections with available seats are displayed to help you focus on options you can actually register for.
Tip: To see all sections, including those that are full, click the Expand option below the section list.
Filtering Sections
You can narrow down your options using these filters:
Topic: Find sections covering specific course topics
Units: Select sections offering your desired credit amount
Sub-term: Focus on sections during specific parts of the term (sessions, etc.)
Level: View sections at your appropriate enrollment level
Working With Multi-Component Courses
Identifying Multi-Component Courses
If a course requires multiple components (such as a lecture plus a lab), you'll see a banner above the first group of sections indicating this requirement.
Automatic Component Linking
When you select a primary component (e.g., "Lec 002"):
Stellic automatically selects a linked component (e.g., "Rct 301") if available
The section list updates to show only components that are valid with your initial selection
You can click on any other valid section to change your selection
Caution: If you select a component that isn't linked to your initial selection, you'll receive a warning that this will change your previously selected section.
Working With Linked Courses
Identifying Linked Courses
If a course requires you to take it along with one or more other courses in the same term, you'll see a blue banner above the list of sections indicating this requirement.
Automatic Course Addition
When you select a section of a linked course:
Stellic automatically adds all linked courses to your plan
Related courses will appear in your plan for the same term
Caution: If you remove the primary course from your plan, it will remove all of the linked courses as well.

A note about registration

If your institution uses Stellic for registration, you will move from Plan Your Path into Schedule view to finalize your section selection. During active enrollment windows, the Schedule view allows you to:
Drop courses
Swap sections
Use Drop If Enroll functionality (when waitlist is supported)
These options vary based on your institution's configuration.
