New Online Resource Connects Students with Support Network
SCC has launched a new resource for students that provides you with feedback about your academic performance and helps you connect with members of your Success Network – your instructors, counselors, and college support staff.

“Connect with Starfish” is an early warning and student tracking system designed to increase student retention and success. This online platform allows your professors to provide you with direct feedback about your course performance in the form of kudos, flags, and messages. When an instructor flags a student who may be struggling or facing barriers that make it difficult to succeed in class, appropriate programs and offices are notified so that they can reach out to provide additional support.
