How can I manage Group Enrollments within my Course?

Updated on

This article will explain how you can manage group enrollments within your course.

Please note that as an Instructor you are able to enroll students in a group, and you are also able to change enrollments, enroll students in other groups or even unenroll them.

To manage student enrollments in groups navigate to your course and go to Course Tools > Groups.

Manage Groups - Brightspace Sample Course - Leiden University - Google Chrome

Please note that you are only able to manage enrollments per GroupCategory, not for all Categories at the same time.

  1. Click on the arrow next to a Group Category
  2. Click on Enrol Users

You will be led to the screen below:

Enrol Users - Assessment - Brightspace Sample Course - Leiden University - Google Chrome
  1. Optional: Filter to see a specific group within this Group Category
  2. Check to enroll a student for that group OR uncheck to unenroll a student for that group
  3. Click on Save

 

Bulk group enrollment

Using the import button on the group page you can enrollment multiple students at the same time using a csv file.

Here you can select a section in which you want to enroll the students and upload a csv file according to the template. The csv file should look like this:

ENROLL,[email protected],Group 1
ENROLL,[email protected],Group 1
ENROLL,[email protected],Group 1
ENROLL,[email protected],Group 2
ENROLL,[email protected],Group 2
Click to copy

Please pay extra attention to the following points:

  • The first term is always ENROLL.
  • The second term is the "student number + @leidenuniv.nl".
  • The last term is the group name of that section. This should be exactly like the which shows under groups.
  • Each term is seperated using a comma and not a semicolon.
  • The first line of the csv file is an enrollment and not an header.

Please note that groups cannot exceed the amount of 200 students.
