Student Group

Definition

Functionality in the Student Information System (SIS) allows students to be placed into "student groups" for administrative purposes. The creation, composition, and maintenance of student groups is not governed. Student groups may be created for a variety of reasons, for example, to track students that have placed into a particular course or to track students who participate in a particular activity, such as a First-year Interest Group.
