MavCONNECT

By: Morgan Stolpa

MavCONNECT is a tool for student, faculty and advisor success.

What is MavCONNECT?

Minnesota State University, Mankato, selected a suite of advising tools, MavCONNECT by Starfish® Enterprise Success Platform™ to integrate our Student Information System (ISRS) to deliver advising notes, MavCares early alerts, Midterm Reports (MTRs), and online scheduling of advising appointments. MavCONNECT will create a specific role and a relationship between students, faculty, and advisors.

How can I use it to help my students?

  • Submit early alert and midterm reports
  • Send motivating messages of support (kudos) to students that are participating, improving, or showing good effort
  • Raise flags in the system at any point in the semester if you have concerns about a student’s progress
  • List office hours in MavCONNECT

MavCONNECT and Advising:

If you serve as an assigned advisor for students, MavCONNECT can be used to:

  • Allow students to self-schedule appointments during office hours you make available in the system
  • Learn at a glance which of your advisees may need additional help
  • Send emails to all or a select group of your advisees
  • Document and track your interactions in a secure, central location
