Posted on November 22, 2023

UNCG faculty member Sara MacSween works with a student in a conference-style classroom.

The Students First Office would like to wish students, faculty, and staff a wonderful and invigorating winter break. As the University wraps up the fall term and prepares for the spring term, we would like to remind the campus community of important information about Starfish technology.

Starfish Reminders & Winter Break Schedule:

Graph depicts usage of Starfish: 8,322 flags, 12,078 kudos, and 369 referrals.
  • November 29: Last day of classes for Fall 2023
  • December 7: Last day to issue flags, kudos, and referrals for the Fall 2023 term
  • December 8: Starfish administrator clears Fall 2023 flags, kudos, and referrals
    Note: Cleared fall items will remain available for historical viewing in the student’s folder, but the status will show as resolved
  • December 11: Flags, kudos, and select referrals re-enabled for instructors to issue to students enrolled in winter term courses

Starfish EARLY ALERT will remain available during the winter term to allow instructors to issue flags, kudos, and select referrals for students enrolled in their courses. Instructors will not be asked to complete any Academic Status Reports during the winter term.

Starfish CONNECT appointment scheduling will remain available to allow instructors and staff to post appointment availability for students. Instructors and staff who will be away during this time should remove all appointment availability from Starfish prior to leaving to prevent scheduling conflicts.

Starfish Support & Training For Starfish assistance, please email starfish@uncg.edu. Please note that Starfish support will be unavailable when the University is closed December 23, 2023-January 1, 2024. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to explore UNCG’s Starfish website for additional information about Starfish and available training guides.
