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.
    • Automatic: Select automatic to allow for the grouping of students while registration is ongoing. The following criteria (multiples of them) can be used;
      • Campus:
      • Gender
      • Level
      • Major
      • Program
      • Stream
