Starfish - Faculty Updating Your Profile

Faculty Profile

The Institutional Profile is what students and others in the Starfish system see - including your picture, contact information, and background. Some information is automatically populated from Banner (like your picture). You will want to review that information to make sure it is accurate and add any missing information.

Find Your Profile

1.

Once you are logged into Starfish, select the "hamburger" icon (the three lines) in the upper left-hand corner to open the left menu.

2.

Select your name and then Institutional Profile.

  • Review the information imported from Banner and make any changes for accuracy, particularly contact information,
  • Please add any information you want students to know when reaching out to you under General Overview and a brief biography

Note: Under your Institutional Profile, you are also able change your starting point when you login to Starfish.
You may find it useful to change "Login Page" to a Students or Appointments choice.
