# How do I view all groups in a course as a student?

If your instructor allows, you can view all course groups by clicking the People link within the course. You can also access any groups where your instructor or another student has enrolled you as a member. You can join, leave, or switch to any available self sign-up groups in your course.

Use the Groups link in Global Navigation to easily [view groups you are enrolled in](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-Canvas-groups-as-a-student/ta-p/281).
