Starfish notifications

As advisors, Starfish currently sends you an immediate notification email when one of your students receives 3-5 flags, 6+ flags, or an Early Alert No Show flag in a course. You will now also be receiving a daily summary/digest email with the specifics of any course flags raised the previous day for all of your students. (This will make it easier to note the details about flags without logging into Starfish.)

Starfish troubleshooting

How to get help with Starfish.

Sync Starfish calendar and Outlook

In order for your Outlook calendar to sync with your Starfish calendar, the UND Starfish account must have access to your Outlook calendar and mailbox.  Submit a ticket to University IT and in this ticket, give permission to allow Starfish and Outlook to read each other. You can still use the Starfish calendar without this access; however, without it, your Starfish and Outlook calendars won’t sync with each other.
