Printable Handout: Participating in a Group | Video Tutorial: N/A

In some courses instructors may require you to work with your classmates in groups. In some cases students will be graded individually or as a group on group assignments. Each group space will have its own announcements, discussions, collaborations, and conferences area.

Please note: Some instructors may restrict students from forming their own groups in a course.

How to Access Groups

If you have been added to a group, there are a couple of ways to access the group. Review the numbered items below.

1. When students are added to a group the course menu item will change from courses to courses & groups. Click to view a list of groups you have access to in the course.

2. Groups can also be accessed from the People page (roster) in each course. From the left navigation click People.

3. A list of all students, instructors and teachings assistants will display. Click the Groups tab or from the right sidebar click View User Groups.

Tips on Groups

The group space looks very similar to the course space. (1) You will know that you are in a group by looking at the name above the left navigation and in the breadcrumb navigation. (2) The course name will appear below the group name and is clickable. Click the course name to return to the course or use the course menu in top navigation in Canvas.
