Starfish is an early alert and retention platform that was launched at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ in the fall of 2017. The purpose and goal of the tool is to enhance the way we work across campus to help students by:
- Facilitating communication and connection between instructors, students, advisors, and support services
- Providing a streamlined means for faculty to give feedback to students on course performance and/or attendance through Progress Surveys
- Helping us prioritize and coordinate outreach for students; especially our most vulnerable students
- Keeping students informed of their own progress and achievements and prompting them to action if needed
- Connect students to campus resources
For questions or concerns, email starfish@weber.edu.
Special Feature Highlight
The Starfish "Get to Know You Survey" is a cross-campus survey to assess student's needs before they start classes. It allows us to connect students to customizable resources while providing proactive outreach. (We provide resources to students based on their responses to the survey).
Training for 91¶ÌÊÓƵ employees. Email starfish@weber.edu when you complete the training to gain access to the survey for students with whom you have a Starfish-based role/relationship).
