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.
1. Click on the Students navigation item to see your list of students.
2. Find the desired student by typing the name into the Search box.
