Purpose: Supporting student adoption of the Starfish Student Success Network is important. Making students aware of Starfish begins inside the classroom. Introducing the Starfish Student Success Network as a student success tool on the first day of class will give students a chance to get to know the system early on and understand how it might benefit them—either through automatic email notifications of low grades or inactivity or through accessing their support network in Starfish.
Announcement:
Starfish Student Success Network:
I Care About You and Your Success! This course is part of the Murray State University student success initiative that
utilizes the Starfish Student Success Network. I will be using the system to communicate
with you about your academic progress and get you help if you need it. Throughout
the term, you may receive emails regarding your attendance, course grades or academic
performance. To benefit, it is important that you check your Murray State email regularly
and follow through on my recommended actions. You may also be contacted directly by
others on campus who care about your academic success and personal well-being. This
may include your academic advisor and staff from Student Engagement and Success and
other student support offices across campus. Starfish provides you with the opportunity
to “Raise Your Hand” if you need help. Take advantage of this and other features
by logging into your Starfish account through myGate. More information can be found
at murraystate.edu/starfish.
