What is Starfish?

Starfish is computer software that makes it easier for students to make appointments with support services and faculty on campus, and makes it easier for faculty, tutors and advisors to coordinate the services they provide to students.

Is everyone at CSU participating?

Not quite everyone – at least not yet.

During Fall 2012 we gradually phased in most of the undergraduate population at CSU, along with their staff advisors. We also began working with some faculty members (primarily those who teach freshmen) and a variety of support staff. During Spring 2013 we will be bringing on board faculty members who teach undergraduates at all levels, and after that we will gradually phase in others in the campus population.

Where do I find Starfish?

Log in to CSU's CampusNet, choose the "Student", "Advisor", or "Instructor" tab, and look in the toolbar at the top for a blue star next to the word "Advising". That's a direct link to CSU's Starfish. It looks like this:
