How to … add a new group

The easiest way to start a group is to go to the most similar group currently existing (because you can copy a lot of information). If a group exists these are the steps.

  • Edit the existing group
  • Save it (without making any changes)
  • Click ‘Add Next’
  • This will create a group with the same information as the previous group
  • Alter the information that is different for this group, making sure the following is correct
    • Course
    • Level
    • Name (in correct format)
    • Enumerate classes is ‘According to the due date’
    • Enter the lesson length in minutes
    • Make sure the dates are correct
    • If the coursebook is known enter it
    • The student limit should be 12 (unless it will be in room 2, in which case it’s 10)
    • Min. number is 4, and add booking period as 2
    • Select the correct default payment scheme
    • THEN change the price of the course to the default price.
      E.G. If the payment scheme changes the price to €285 (€235 + €50 matricula) change it back to €235, which is the course price.
    • If the marking group scheme is known for this group (exception will be before the director of studies has confirmed the marking group scheme for the year)
      • Go to the Mark Group Schemes tab, and select the appropriate scheme
        (e.g. GE 3 hour (Lower) Trim1)
