1. Include a Starfish Connect Statement in your course syllabus:

Starfish Connect is a communication tool for students and faculty. Through Starfish, instructors can provide feedback to you about course progress. Throughout the term, you may receive progress emails regarding your academic performance. The emails are designed to be helpful and increase your success in courses. Be sure to open any emails you receive with the subject line “Important Information from your <course name> Professor” and follow the recommendations. Instructors may also recommend that you contact a specific campus resource, such as the Learning Lab or Counseling Center. If an instructor makes a referral, you may also be contacted directly by this campus service as a follow-up. To access Starfish Connect, login to the MyCCP portal, on the Launchpad, scroll down and click on Starfish Connect. You can even upload your photo to your Starfish student profile.
