From your Ultra course, click on the Groups tab.
From the Groups tab, click New Group Set.
At the top you can rename the Group Set.
Next, change the visibility status of the Group Set to “Visible to students”. This is required since students need to see the groups to enroll in them.
Then select Self-enrollment from the Group students drop-down.
From the new window you can configure the groups and advanced enrollment options.
1. Number of groups: A default number of groups will be given. To create, rename, or delete groups, scroll down below the enrollment options.
2. Enrollment Start Date: The first day students can self enroll in the group. If a date is not set, students can enroll as soon as the group set is created.
3. Enrollment End Date: The last day students can enroll in the group. If a date is not set, students can enroll at any time.
4. Auto-enroll: will randomly enroll unassigned members at the end of the enrollment period (if set). 🚩 This auto-enrollment does not occur immediately at the Enrollment window end date/time, it occurs around midnight during Blackboard’s system updates.
5. Maximum members per group: Limits the number of students per group. This number and the number of groups should be set to ensure all students have space to enroll.
6. Hide enrolled members: Hides the names of students who have already enrolled in that group.
You will see the groups below, and can edit the name, and give the groups a description.
