SIS/Student Groups - Inactivating a Student from a Student Group

This document outlines how to inactive a student group in a student's record.

Note: Some SIS pages have been updated to a new user interface. Screenshots in KB documents will be updated over time to reflect the new look, but the functionality detailed below is unchanged.


Steps

By inactivating a student's student group, a record of their group association is kept, but the student group will no longer function for the student. Inactivating has a similar effect to deleting a student group with the advantage of keeping a history. To inactive a student group from a student’s record, follow the steps below:

Step 1

  • Navigate to the Student Groups page at Student Records WorkCenter, Student Groups or | Records and Enrollment | Career and Program Information | Student Groups.
  • The Find page will display. Search for the student you want to add a student group for by entering their Campus ID number in the "Campus ID" field. Other search fields can be used, but Campus ID is the value you're most likely to know and its use will ensure you're accessing the correct student record.
  • Select "Search."

Tip: Use the row counter bar to move around.
