Progress Surveys

Progress surveys are used by instructors and advisors to identify students who may be in need of additional help. We deploy progress surveys through Starfish four times a semester directly to the instructor of record to complete the survey for each section of a course.

Any indication of a student needing support is shared with the student and advisor. The advisor then reaches out to the student and offers help. Thank you for supporting students!

This short walk-through video will show you how to Respond to Progress Surveys.
