You can access and customize Stellic settings by clicking your name in the top right hand corner and then Settings. You can always close out of the Settings menu using the ‘X’ at the top right of the sidebar.
User Settings
Add photo is accessed by clicking the ‘add photo’ text at the top of the Settings sidebar to add or change your profile photo. If you don’t see this option, it means that your institution has chosen to require official photos through the data feed and does not allow users to add their own photos in the Stellic platform.
View Settings will control the default view for many sections of the platform. You’ll always be able to navigate between views, but this will control which view serves as a default view when you log in.
Audit Report Printing Options will control the default print view when you opt to print PDF audit reports from either your dashboard view or from an individual student's page. You’ll always be able to navigate between views, but this will control which view serves as your default.
Allow student messages will determine whether or not students can respond to messages from your or find you in their message center. Typically, the only users who uncheck this box are admin users who use Stellic to send bulk announcements to large groups of students.
Web Accessibility options include high contrast and text equivalents for non-text element views.
Time Zone allows you to have appointment scheduling and course schedules show contextually to your chosen time zone.
Notification Settings
In order to adjust your notification settings, click Change Notification Settings
Email Notifications: Messages and Requests for Review controls how frequently you receive email notifications about anything other than advisee alerts - for instance, when a student sends you a message or requests to have their plan reviewed. By default, all users are set to Daily.
Advisee Alerts allows you to control the frequency of emails that you receive for the advisee alerts within this section. These alerts are determined either by alerts you can create within this setting area, or by using Tracked Saved Reports. The primary use case is Tracked Saved Reports.
You can add alerts for specific scenarios, such as a student’s GPA dropping below a set number, or a student failing a course.
Alerts that are created by tracking saved reports appear here as well. You can edit these alerts to change the notification type.
Each alert is able to be set to a different notification level - critical alerts, warnings, or info can have different types of notifications. You can customize each event or Tracked Saved Report to be one of these notification levels and you can group them according to your own preferences into the three categories (Critical Alert, Warning, Info) to provide different notification structures as desired.
For example, you may set a Tracked Saved Report to watch for students with a CGPA below 2.0 and set that to a Warning level with Email notifications.
