SchoolCity SUITE allows users at all levels to create groups of students and courses for various purposes. While a Student Group is a group of students within a classroom or course, a Course Group is a group of courses or classes. Depending on the user role, a Course Group may include only the courses assigned to one teacher, or may include similar courses in a school or district. This document will review the process for managing Course Groups.
