Starfish
Starfish for Students
Starfish is an Early Alert retention tool that supports student academic success. Starfish simplifies communication between students, faculty and support services. Through Starfish, you can connect with a network of faculty and staff who directly support your success at CCC. Starfish notifications are sent to your CCC email or may be viewed on your Starfish Profile Dashboard.
Early Alert notifications called “Flags”allow instructors to give you the opportunity to succeed through awareness by identifying concerns, such as frequent absences, missed assignments, low scores or possible failure in a class.
Starfish also allows instructors to give praise or “Kudos”to celebrate your success or improvement in a class.
Referrals” are used to direct you to a particular student service on campus and connect you to people dedicating to helping you.
Notifications are sent to your CCC email or may be viewed on your Starfish Profile Dashboard.
Your Right to Know
The only members that will be able to view a raised flag will be the instructor that
raised the flag, advisors and members of the college that are associated with the
flag, and yourself.
Starfish flags are raised in support of you, not against you. If you receive a flag,
you are not "in trouble". You are encouraged to respond and take action on your instructor's
concerns.
Starfish data is protected under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
(FERPA).
Tracking Items (Flags, Kudos, Referrals) are part of your student record.
