South Texas College has implemented the Starfish Early Alert system to assist in communication between faculty and students. Starfish is a tool that should increase engagement between students, faculty, and support services. Starfish provides a venue for interventions to help students succeed. It also contains information about resources and support services available to students.
In an effort to optimize Starfish utilization, faculty are reminded that they must set up or update their Starfish profiles. In addition, faculty are asked that they either set-up or update their office hours so that students can schedule an appointment to meet with faculty when a flag is raised.
During the first and second week of the semester, faculty should remind students to also create or update their Starfish profiles and contact information. Please remind students that if a flag is raised, they should schedule an appointment to meet with the faculty member who raised the flag. This will help in providing the student with proper interventions or resources.
