Starfish Announcement: The Midterm Progress Survey Is Now Open!

Thank you to all the faculty and staff who participated in this semester's first Starfish survey. There were over 1000 flags and kudos raised for students as a result!

The second Starfish faculty survey of the semester, the Midterm Progress Survey, is now open and available to faculty! This survey targets special populations and at-risk students, and excludes online classes. The following options are available to be raised on students:

  • You Rock!
  • Great Participation!
  • Keep Up the Good Work
  • Showing Improvement
  • Academic Progress (Email Notification Only)
  • Urgent Academic Concern - Outreach Requested
  • Library Research Referral - Outreach Requested

As with previous surveys, faculty will be emailed a link to their Starfish surveys.

Please note: there are no attendance flags with this survey. Attendance-related alerts and outreach to students are now triggered through faculty daily attendance reporting in Starfish. The Midterm Progress Survey is used to raise concerns or commendations regarding students' academic performance in class.

Remember that the flag name tells you the intervention you can expect. Email Notification Only flags are an email to the student and documentation in Starfish that is visible to their Success Network. Outreach Requested flags will send an email to the student, and their Success Coach or School Specialist will try to contact the student to try to address the concern.

Thank you for your ongoing participation in Starfish surveys!
