1. Batch importing students to groups requires the Group Code used by Blackboard for each group. Follow the instructions below for Original and Ultra to identify the Group Code.
2. Download and format the CSV template from the Blackboard course via Groups.
   • If you open this CSV file in Excel, please be sure to save it as CSV.
   • Retain the headings as you work on the file.

NOTE:

The student must be enrolled in your course before the student can be added to a group. You must use the student's username to batch import through this process. Although PeopleSoft does not include the student's username, you can cross-reference the Campus ID through the "student ID" column in the Blackboard grade center, which also includes the student's username.
