Academic Support | Academic Advising and Registration
Every student at Quinnipiac is assigned an academic adviser to work with them to plan out a course of study that fulfills the requirements of their program.
Students may view who their assigned adviser is on Self-Service. Students will see their adviser when looking at their profile at the top of their Course Plan.
Please note: New undergraduate students will be assigned an adviser in the late summer before they begin at Quinnipiac. Students will receive planning guidance and registration information during their Orientation sessions. If you have questions, you may contact the dean of your school.
If a student does not have a declared major, they are still assigned an adviser who works with them on the process of exploring and eventually declaring a major. Learn more about being undeclared
In addition, program directors and school leadership are here to help mentor and guide students. We encourage students to contact them throughout their academic journey. Visit the Academic Catalog website for contact information
The university offers two systems for degree planning and course registration.
For a short overview of how to use Stellic, refer to the Stellic user guide
Students can find their academic adviser information by logging in to Self-Service. Advisers assist students with reviewing their course requirements for their program of study, and with questions and planning for opportunities like study abroad.
In Self-Service, navigate to “Plan your Degree & Register for Classes”
This page is located under Academics > Student Planning > Plan & Schedule
During your registration period, use the “Register Now” button on the Schedule screen to quickly add your class selections.
If you are not returning to Quinnipiac, please either complete a leave of absence or withdrawal form.
You may use our online course catalog to search for available courses and course sections.
All incoming students will take placement exams during the summer to help determine which level of courses in which they should enroll. The links to these placement exams are available in Q-Start, Quinnipiac's new-student onboarding portal.
Advanced standing or placement will be considered for entering first-year students who have successfully completed college-level credit courses (with a grade of C or better on an official transcript) through a regionally accredited college or university, or who have achieved an acceptable score on an appropriate examination.

The following is to a guide to which mathematics course(s) you need to take to fulfill not only the University Core, but the requirements of your major.
Current and new students should consult with their adviser or department chair for help with this process or requests for making changes to their courses. The link to the math placement exam for incoming students is available in Q-Start, Quinnipiac's new-student onboarding portal.
If you wish to know more about math courses and math placement, please contact Lisa Hollman.
The offices are available to students as a resource for questions such as requesting permission to add a course, or general inquiries about programs.
