How do I enroll into groups within a course?

Updated on

Enrolling through OSIRIS

Enrolling in groups is handled through OSIRIS in most cases, usually when you sign up for a course. These groups are then transferred to Brightspace. Any changes to your group enrollment can only be done via OSIRIS, not Brightspace.

Groups in Brightspace

Teachers can also create various groups within Brightspace, to hand in group assignments, for instance. These groups can be found via Course Tools - Groups in the navbar. Here, you can also see if your teacher created a custom group structure or whether Brightspace automatically created groups. Under Groups, you can find the groups of which you are a member. If the teacher has set up self enrollment, you can choose what groups you want to be a member of.
