In this guide, we will show you how you can use this process to assign multiple students to a Band, Teaching Class, Tutor Groups or Class Membership via Block. The example in this guide will show the process for a Band assignment.

This is a bulk process, students can also be assigned to Bands/Teaching Classes etc manually via the Groups page if you wish.

You cannot use the Bulk Group Assignment Tool to assign Pre-Admission students to groups. It will need to be done via Groups.

Access: The minimum permissions required to access this feature are found in the Curriculum Module of Config>Setup>Roles & Permissions.

Pre-requisites: You must have a thorough understanding of how Group Associations work in the MIS and an understanding of T-Sheets/Importing files.
