Student Guide: Group Signup

Introduction

Students on a module are often assigned groups to allow for small group teaching such as tutorials. Some schools and modules allow students to sign up to module groups using the MMS Group Signup tool. This guide will cover using the MMS Group Signup tool. This guide has the following sections:

• Accessing the Group Signup tool
• Selecting a group
• Changing group
• Viewing assigned groups

Access the Group Signup tool

To access the group signup tool:

1. Access MySaint: https://mysaint.st-andrews.ac.uk/
2. Select the Sign in link in the top right of the MySaint home page.
3. Sign in using your university username and password.
4. Select My courses from the navigation panel on the left of MySaint (Select the three lined hamburger icon in top left to open the navigation if it is closed). If the My courses link is not appearing, Select the Student link at the top of the navigation
   panel to open the student options.
5. Locate the appropriate module in the My modules portlet.
6. Select on the Group Signup link for the module. The tool may be named slightly differently,
   for example ‘Tutorial Signup’ or ‘Seminar Signup’

Note: The signup tool will not be visible to students until the date and time the school has set the
signup tool to ‘open’.

Selecting a group

Once in the group signup tool you can select your preferred group:

1. Read the group details
2. Select the Join button in the group you wish to join.

You will now be added to the group and the box around the group will change colour indicating which group you have chosen.

Changing group

Some modules allow students to change groups until the group signup closes.

If you can change your group there will be text at the top of the signup page indicating you can change your group, and
what date/time you can change your group until.

If the signup is still open:

1. Access the Group Signup tool.
2. Read the group details.
3. Locate the new group.
4. Select the Join button.

Note: If the group signup tool is closed you may still be able to change your group by contacting your module coordinator. The module coordinator is listed on the Module overview page.

Viewing assigned groups

If the signup tool has closed, or you were assigned to a group by your school, you can view which
groups you are in:

1. Access MySaint: https://mysaint.st-andrews.ac.uk/
2. Select the Sign in link in the top right of the MySaint home page.
3. Sign in using your university username and password.
4. Select My courses from the navigation panel on the left of MySaint (Select the three lined hamburger icon in top left to open the navigation if it is closed). If the My courses link is not appearing, Select the Student link at the top of the navigation
   panel to open the student options.
5. Locate the appropriate module in the My modules portlet and select the module title.
6. Your groups will be listed on the Module overview (see Figure 1).
