Course Grouping

Course Grouping is a feature that helps to group students based on factors that they share in common. This typically results in similar students being clustered as one class or assessment sheet.

✑ From the OSIS sidebar, Click on the Course Grouping link under Registration Setup.

At the top right of the Course/Assessment Groups page, two buttons are available: Add Setting and Find Setting.

✑ Click on the Add Setting button to set up the criteria for grouping students, and what method to use – whether Manual or Automatic. This opens a modal with the following fields;

Semester: This is a dropdown list showing all available semesters in OSIS.
Course: This is a dropdown search to enable users to search for a course for grouping.
Grouping Method: there are two methods, either using the Manual or Automatic.
- Manual: Select manual for grouping especially where human intervention is required. Manual grouping should take place after registrations are over.
