Navigate and Access student information

S&T Connect allows you to search for students by name or ID from the search bar in the top-level navigation or from within the Students tab in S&T Connect.

1. Select Students tab from the top level navigation. If you don't have a Students tab, you do not have any available relationships to students.

2. Select My Students sub-tab from within the Students tab.

3. Ensure you have your "All My Students" connection, or the relevant connection between you and the desired student selected in the Connection drop down box, and that you have the appropriate term(s) selected (e.g. Active terms).

4. Type part of the student name, email address, or ID into the Student Search box in the header of the list of students, and click the Go button.

5. Click on the student's name from the list of results presented.

These same steps apply if you are on the Tracking sub-tab; however, your results are limited to your students who have a tracking item.

1. Enter part of the name or student ID of the desired student in the student search box at the top of your screen, to the left of your profile.

2. Select the student from the list of results.

This will open the selected student's folder.

On the My Students and Tracking sub-tabs within the Students tab of Starfish, you have the ability to filter the list of students presented based on your connection to a group of students, and the term within which that connection is valid. Depending on your institution's configuration, you may also have the ability to filter by cohort.

Student_List_Filters

  1. Select the Connection desired from the list presented. This list represents all of the roles you have in the system. The "All My Students" option includes the aggregation of students from all of your available connections.
  2. Select the Term(s) desired. You can select a particular term, you can select "All terms" to return students from any of the terms in Starfish, or you can select "Active" terms to limit results to only those terms that are currently active.

These filters allow you to work with different groups of students and to narrow your focus to specific student populations. For example, on the My Students sub-tab, you might filter based on your role as instructor in a particular course section, or you might filter based on your role as an advisor for a specific term.

The resulting student list will be filtered to only those students who match your Connection and Term selection.

On the Tracking tab, the Term selection option is not presented on the main header bar, but it is available when you click the Additional Filters button.

If you use the search box after filtering by Connection and Term, the student you are looking for may be excluded from the results. For the most complete list of students you have available relationships with in Starfish, clear additional filters, select "All My Students" option for your connection, and 'All' for your term. (Some functions are not available for students with whom you only have relationships that are in the past or future.)

1. Click Students top-level tab.

2. Select one or more students in the list using the check boxes to the left of the students' names. You may select up to 750 students at a time.

3. Click Send Message link in the action bar to display the Send Message window.

4. From Send Message window, enter a Subject and Note to email the student.

5. You have the option to email a copy of the email to yourself. Select Send copy to yourself checkbox if you wish to do this.

6. Submit the form to send the email to all selected students.

*Messages created this way will be displayed in the Student folder in the Notes tab as a private note for each selected student.
