How do I create, edit, or delete a Student Group?

Student Groups can be used to send messages, create permissions, and assign Advisors to a specific sets of students ( read more about Student Groups).

To create a Student Group in the Career Advisor Management System (CAMS):

1. From your Advisor Homepage, under Student Administration, click Manage Student Groups.
2. Click Add New Group.
3. Enter your desired Group Name and Type:
   
   Private groups are visible only to the person who created them, so only you can modify or filter by your private groups.
   Shared groups can be viewed, edited, and deleted by all CAMS users.
   Managed groups can be viewed and used as a filter by all CAMS users. Only Career Cruising Administrators can add or edit these groups.
   
   Once you’ve made your selection, click  Add Students.
4. Search for the students using relevant criteria (e.g. Grade 10) or leave blank to choose from a list of all students. Click View List.
5. From the generated list, select the students you want to include in the Student Group. If you’d like to add more students from a different set of criteria, click Save & Add More and repeat Step 4. When you're done selecting, click Save & Done at the top or bottom of the list.(You may find it useful to choose Select All and manually deselect the students you do not want to assign.)
6. You’ll receive a pop-up notification with the message Your changes have been saved.

To edit a Student Group by adding or removing students:

1. From your Advisor Homepage, under Student Administration, click Manage Student Groups.
2. Click the edit (pencil) icon beside the name of the group you want to edit. (See rules about Group Types from Step 3 above.)
3. Select Add Students if you wish to do so, and proceed from Step 4 above. If you want to remove students, select their names from the list shown and click Remove. The page will reload and the student(s) will be removed from the list.

To delete a student group:

2. Click the delete (trash can) icon beside the name of the group you want to delete. (See rules about Group Types from Step 3 in the Creating Groups instructions above.)
3. You’ll receive a notification You have indicated that you want to delete this group. If it is a SHARED group, it will be deleted for everyone. Are you sure you want to proceed? Click OK to proceed. The page will reload and your group will be removed from the list.
