Starfish Home
Starfish is a communication and student retention tool used to connect students to resources on campus. It allows instructors to flag and alert students of their progress and academic success in the course. We strive to ensure students are actively engaged with university staff and faculty throughout their academic journey at UToledo. Communicating with and providing students with timely connection to resources is essential to our students’ success.

The Starfish Story
A man saw a boy collecting starfish and gently throwing them into the ocean.
The boy explained, “The tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
The man said, “But look, there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish!”
The boy picked up another starfish, threw it into the surf, smiled at the man, and
said:
“I made a difference for that one.”
