Class Groups allow students to be sorted into specific classes at the time of their enrollment. This enables admins to add students to some, but not all, classes in a cohort without manually enrolling them in each class. By default, Platinum offers All Classes and No Classes. You can also create custom class groups that allow students to be added to select classes in your cohort.
Example (Custom Class Groups): All students should be in the testing, clinical, and simulation class, but the cohort is split into separate lab classes. Adding custom class groups allows you sort those lab classes while also adding your students to their other classes, which are together.
Note: Students cannot be added to a class group after cohort enrollment is accepted. If enrollment has already occurred, students must be manually added to their correct classes or submit individual class enrollment requests.
