Product Overview


Starfish solutions help retain and graduate more students by improving the delivery and assessment of your institution's student success services.

We help your institution:

  • Identify at-risk students
  • Encourage all students to receive help from the campus community
  • Facilitate delivery of research-proven “student success” programs
  • Assess and benchmark these programs to support continuous improvement
Our software services can be licensed individually by the institution or all together to create an integrated experience.   Your Starfish solutions provide one place for students to go for help and one place for administrators to go to understand what services are being used, by which kind of student, and how effectively.
