Student Success Management Features
Integrated Communication
Starfish enables advisors, faculty, and departments across campus to collaborate and communicate directly with students from within the platform.
- Messages and Notes
- Alerts
- Scheduling
Messages and Notes
Send students messages via email or text, or send notes to other staff members in a student’s personal success network.
Alerts
Receive alerts from colleagues when students in your network need assistance, or stay in the loop with updates to know that a student got the help they needed.
Scheduling
Schedule time for yourself (or for a colleague) with a student directly in Starfish, or allow students to schedule their own time during your customizable office hours. Integrations with Microsoft Office and Google Calendar ensure you’re always up to date.
Centralized Student Record
Starfish puts all the information you need to support students in a single, centralized location, with detailed permissions to ensure student data is only available to those who need access.

Student Information
View core information imported from your SIS system, including admissions, demographics, programs, term status, and more.
Flags, Alerts, Notes
Review flags, referrals, to-dos, and other alerts on a student’s record to quickly see where follow-up is needed.
Student Success Network
View a list of other faculty and staff on campus in each student’s success network so you can easily find the right partners for providing support. Send them a note via Starfish, or view their contact information to follow up directly.
