    How do I join a group as a student?

    <p>Your instructors may want to create groups within a course but still allow you to form your own group. Joining students groups are easy in Canvas.</p>
  • <p>You can view any groups where your instructor has added you as a member, as well as any available self sign-up groups in your course.</p> <p>Learn how to easily see the <a href="../../4212/l/55565?data-resolve-url=true&amp;data-manual-id=4212" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="A89503F2-E6B6-4983-ABB5-0C1703882336" data-object-manual-uuid="2E9743B0-E3D9-012F-D7F0-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">groups you are enrolled in</a>.</p>
  • <p>You can assign a student group leader to help manage a group within your course. You can assign group leaders automatically or manually. When students are assigned to be a group leader, they can manage members of the group and edit the group name. However, they cannot change the number of members in the group. </p> <p>Students do not receive any notification that they have been added as a group leader, but they can manage groups directly from the Groups page. Access is also allowed from their Courses &amp; Groups drop-down menu.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> If an assigned group leader drops out of the course, you will have to select a new group leader only if the group leader was assigned manually. If you automatically assigned a group leader as part of creating a group set, Canvas will automatically assign another leader to the group. </p>
