What is the student’s Entry Year vs their Catalog Year?

What does “Stellic Engage” indicate? Why does my student’s profile display no interests?

This indicator is not related to degree progress. The Interests tool is also not currently in use […]

Why does my student have “Archived – View Only” on their profile?

Posted: March 27, 2025 at 11:52 am

Archived students no longer have an active status in the degree audit, meaning their information is no longer being sent to the application from the student information system, Banner. This means your student has a graduated, withdrawn, terminated, or otherwise inactive status at George Mason.
