Welcome to Starfish! Starfish provides you with a central location to connect to the people and services that can help you finish what you start. You can access Starfish from eWeber or Canvas.

Complete the Starfish Get to Know You Survey

This survey is intended to provide you with the services and support that will help you be successful here at Weber State University. This survey can be seen by advisors and professional staff. We understand that these questions can be sensitive in nature. We will keep your information confidential and only share it with those who have an educational interest in your success.

Depending on your answers, you may receive additional information or follow-up on various services and/or departments. If you are not currently enrolled, you will be receiving this information closer to your enrolled semester. If the link above does not work, it should be available to you when you are enrolled within your first semester at WSU. 

Set up your Profile - Video

Begin by setting up your student profile. Your profile lets instructors and advisors know who you are and how to contact you. It also gives you control over how you wish to receive emails.  

1. Open the Starfish menu in the top left corner and click on your name to see the link to your profile. From here, you can customize your profile by setting appointment reminders and adding a secondary email address for receiving Starfish emails.  *Important note: Double check that the Time zone selected is Mountain Standard Time or the Time Zone where you reside.   2. Once you have made your desired changes to your profile and notifications, click the Submit button to save your updates. 3. Your contact phone number shown in Starfish is determined by information you provide in the Personal Information section of the Personal Profile app . Text message reminders for Starfish appointments will only reach you for your current Primary Cell Phone number on file. 4. If your student email account (@mail.weber.edu) is inactive, Starfish will import your personal email on file in the Personal Profile app. To ensure you you receive appointment confirmation messages and reminders, update your personal email.
