Understanding Student Groups

Student groups enable you to define groups of similar students at a high level, such as athletes, student body officers, or honor students. Creating groups of students enables you to track and use the students within a group for campus-wide processing, such as billing, academic advising, or financial aid awarding.

Student group security enables you to assign student groups to a user ID. At least one user ID should have update access to a student group for assignment and processing purposes.

Mass assignment allows a user to create, or update multiple students using a single run control process. Mass assignment is now available for student groups. The process incorporates population selection along with the ability to assign individual ID's for student group assignment.

Users can also view the student groups to which they have access, either by student or by group.
