Blackboard (Faculty) - Groups: Add or Remove Students from a Group

This document provides an overview of adding and removing students from a Group.

Add Students to Existing Groups

When you create a group, one step in the process is to add students. You may need to add students after the groups have been created. Whether you created individual groups or a group set, or chose manual, random, or self-enroll groups, users are added the same way.

  1. From the Control Panel, click on Users and Groups, then click Groups.
  2. Identify the group. Click on the drop down menu next to the Group Name and select Edit Group.
  3. Under "Membership" click on the Add User button.
  4. A new window will open with a list of the students in the class. Check the box(s) next to the students name that you wish to add to this group.
  5. Click Submit at the bottom of the page.
  6. The students will be added to the "Membership" list.
  7. Click Submit at the bottom of the page.

  2. Identify the group. Click on the drop-down menu next to the Group Name and select Edit Group.
