How do I switch groups as a student?

If you are a member of a group that is part of a group set, you can leave your current group and join another group within the set.

Open People

In Course Navigation, click the People link.

Note: If your instructor has disabled the People link in Course Navigation, you cannot switch groups.

Open Groups

Click the Groups tab [1].

Or, to open your groups from the Options menu, click the Options icon [2] and then click the View User Groups link [3].

Switch Groups

When multiple groups are within the same group set [1], you can switch groups to simultaneously leave your current group [2] and join another group in the set [3].

To switch to another group in the set, click the group Switch To button [4].

Verify Group Removal

A message appears at the top of your browser verifying you joined the other group.

You are now a member of the group you switched to and you have left the other group.
