If you receive a notification from Starfish in your email, it is important to read the details of the message. If the message is regarding a flag, referral, or to-do then you will be provided with specific instructions about what action you need to take.
Flags
Your instructor will raise a Starfish flag when they are concerned about your performance in a class. If you receive a flag, you should contact your instructor immediately to discuss their concerns and ways to get back on track. You can also access your flags from your Starfish Dashboard.
To-Do's
You may receive a Starfish to-do if there is a task or item that the College needs you to complete. To-do's always require action on your part, so read the details of the to-do and follow-up on the necessary items.
Referrals
NWTC instructors and staff can raise Starfish referrals to help connect you to NWTC student services. NWTC staff will reach out to you via phone or email to discuss the referral, but you can also contact the department directly for those discussions. You can access the details of your referrals from your Starfish Dashboard.
