What is Starfish?

EAB Starfish is a comprehensive student success and retention platform developed to help higher education institutions identify student needs, coordinate academic support, and improve graduation outcomes. The software provides a centralized environment where faculty, advisors, student services professionals, and administrators can collaborate to support learners throughout their educational experience. Its early warning system enables faculty members to submit academic alerts, progress surveys, and referrals when students demonstrate signs of difficulty or require additional assistance. Institutions can configure personalized intervention workflows that connect students with academic advising, tutoring, counseling, and other campus resources. Starfish includes appointment scheduling capabilities that allow students to book meetings with support personnel and help staff manage availability and service delivery. Its case and cohort management features enable institutions to organize student populations, document interactions, assign follow-up activities, and monitor the progress of targeted support initiatives. Operational reporting tools provide visibility into advising activities, student engagement, service utilization, and institutional support capacity. Strategic analytics dashboards help administrators analyze student performance, identify patterns associated with academic risk, and evaluate the results of retention programs. The platform also supports academic degree planning by helping students understand program requirements, follow recommended course pathways, and receive notifications when they deviate from their plans. By integrating student information, proactive interventions, academic planning, and institutional analytics, EAB Starfish helps colleges and universities improve retention, increase degree completion, and deliver more effective student support services.
