Setting Up a Student Group

To set up a student group, use the Student Group Table component (STDNT_GROUP_TBL).

The system does not deliver any predefined student groups, so you need to define your own to meet your institution's needs. You can add one or multiple groups. Each group will need a enter a unique four-character letter identifier such as ATHL for Athletics, EXTL for external student, or ACDX for Academic Excellence.
