Starfish Guide For Students

Welcome to Starfish at CSU! This web site exists to provide information and assistance for CSU students, staff, and faculty using Starfish. For students, this is the page. For staff and faculty, please Click Here – you'll just need your CSU ID and CampusNet password to log into the staff & faculty area.

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:

What do I do once I get there?

  • Set up your individual profile (this is done from the pull-down menu next to your photo). Note the text message and Facebook options.
  • Take note of your advisors and instructors.
  • Check your Success Network.
  • Look around. See the "Starfish Student Getting Started Guide"pdf file
  • Be aware that more and more people –students, staff, and instructors – will join you on Starfish as we go through the academic year.

Where can I get help with Starfish if I have questions?
