About Stellic

Stellic is a unified SaaS platform designed to empower all students on their way to degree completion and career success. Originally built by students to more effectively plan ahead, today we’re proud to serve all segments of higher education at institutions like UChicago, Ohio State, Johnson County Community College, Cornell College, and University of Oklahoma, and many more.

A bit about our philosophy: we’ve put student experience at the heart of our platform to address some of higher ed’s biggest current challenges. In fact, 40% of students who enter college will get lost while navigating their degree requirements and ultimately drop out — costing $200B to institutions annually. A big cause is that most of higher education has been using antiquated and disparate tools to manage student progress, and that’s led to low student engagement, overwhelmed advisors, wasted resources. Stellic gives students a beautiful, user-friendly experience to plan ahead and manage their progress, helping them make informed decisions and take ownership. That data is then put to good use. Advisors and administrators have access to student planning and progress data like never before, helping to scale support and allocate resources based on what the students need. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

With millions of students in higher ed, Stellic’s work is far from finished. By joining our team, you’ll help step closer to our mission of empowering all students to have the best-possible experiences and outcomes.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
