Welcome to ACHIEVE!
ACHIEVE gives you a convenient way to keep track of your students - raising flags when you see a pattern of behavior that concerns you, ensuring that the people on campus who can intervene are aware. It also allows your students to easily book an appoinment with you or someone else who can help.
Getting started is easy! Accessible through MyState, ACHIEVE will automatically display all students that you have been assigned or are enrolled in your courses.
The first thing you will want to do is setup your profile. Some of your information has already been imported from Banner, but you have the option to update and further personalize your profile.
*Please note that you will see the name "Starfish" used on the graphics below. We have rebranded this tool on our campus to ACHIEVE.
Here is an example of what your ACHIEVE
profile will look like:
Students will be more likely to reach out if they know a little about you. Be sure to write a short blurb about yourself in your
General Overview.
Next, you will need to set up your
Appointment Preferences. This is where you will establish your appointment preferences, location, and calendar managers. This information must be set up in order for you to make appointments using ACHIEVE.
The
Email Notifications tab within the profile allows you to set preferences for receiving appointment notifications as well as tracking item notifications (summary emails).
Complete the
Add Office Hours wizard to indicate availability, location, and type of appointment; then click submit.
You can easily capture your appointment/meeting outcomes by selecting
Outcomes and clicking on
Speednotes.
Raise a flag
When you have a concern with a particular student, raise a flag, to-do, or referral to communicate your observations. The appropriate individuals will be automatically notified when you save the item.

Students navigation item to see your list of students.
2. Find the desired student by typing the name into the
Search box.
3. Click on the student’s name to bring up the
Student Folder.
4. Click the

7. Click the
Save button.
respond to a Progress Survey
You will receive an email reminder when there is a new survey for you to complete. Each individual survey presents a student roster for one course section on whom you can raise flags.
1. Select the progress survey link on your Starfish
Home page to go the
Progress Surveys tab. (Only
visible when you have active surveys.)
The selected survey opens, listing your students on the left, and items you may raise across the top.
2. Check the box for each desired item/ student combination.
3. Click the comments icon (
) to open a text box for your notes.
Click the information icon (
) associated with an item to verify whether or not the student can
view the flag and related comments.
4. Click the
Submit button
only when you are finished providing feedback. The items you selected
will be raised on your students when you submit the survey.
IMPORTANT: Once you have submitted the survey, you will not have an opportunity to add to or undo the items you raised. Use the Save Draft option if you are not ready to submit your survey.
You may be asked to submit more than one course survey if more than one of your courses has been included in the survey plan for your institution. They will be listed in the drop-down menu on the
Progress Surveys tab.
