RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
The Student Folder allows users to view student information, courses, tracking items, and notes based on your connection with the student. Advisors (faculty, academic and support) are able to view all information. Instructors are able to see information related to the course they teach.
IMPORTANT: Student information is imported nightly from SIS to Starfish. SIS is the system of record and will remain the most accurate place to look up student information.
- Access Starfish through:
- Student Folders are accessible from any place the student's name is a hyperlink.
The most common place you will access a student folder is from the My Students or Tracking tabs.
