Assigning Students to Groups in Brightspace

Groups should already exist in your course if they are part of the design. You may need to enroll students in these groups at the start of the course if manual enrollment is required. In some cases, the group enrollment will be automatic, and you may only need to adjust the membership as desired. DO NOT delete existing groups in your course; use the enrollment features to modify groups as needed. 

Enroll Students in Groups Manually

  • Select Course Admin in the navbar in your course.
  • Select Groups from the dropdown menu.
  • Select the dropdown arrow [A] next to the group category name.
  • Select Enroll Users [B].

  • The Enroll Users page will open. Select the checkbox for the appropriate group for each student. You can also add additional groups in the same category, if needed. 
  • Select the Save button.
