Features of Starfish CONNECT™

Personal, Searchable Success Network

Place at the student’s fingertips a personalized set of services and list of people who can help. Students can search a catalog of services and success providers to find help for specific needs, such as a sign-language interpreter or math tutor. This is also a valuable reference for people assisting students.

Online Scheduling for Individual and Group Appointments

Advisors, tutors, and instructors can set up meeting time blocks, allowing students to sign up for available spots. Email notifications and reminders prompt attendance. They can also offer group sessions—enabling multiple users to meet at the same time for training, advising or studying.

Two-Way Integration with Outlook and Other Online Calendars

Students can schedule time on the Web through Starfish. These appointments are automatically forwarded to the online calendars of advisors and instructors. Need to cancel an appointment? Do it directly through Microsoft® Outlook®! Starfish support includes Microsoft® Outlook®, iCal®, Entourage®, Gmail™, Yahoo™, Lotus Notes® and Novell® GroupWise®. Also allow others (e.g., office assistant) to manage advisors’ schedules, create and edit office hours and setup and cancel appointments. 

Central Student Folder with Notes

A consolidated view of student records and interactions (e.g., flags, appointment history, notes, courses, grades) in a single location. Write notes about a student that can be kept private. Or share notes with other members of a student’s success network. 

Dynamic Reporting

Trending and activity reports provide data about student-instructor/advisor collaboration outside of the classroom, answering who is meeting, when and about what.
