When waitlists expire at the end of the add/drop period, any waitlisted students added to course sites via waitlist rosters who are still on the waitlist (i.e., waitlisted students who have not fully enrolled in the course) will be removed from those course sites. Instructors may also manually remove the waitlist roster from their course sites. In some tools, content created by waitlisted students is no longer available after they have been removed; in other tools, their content remains visible.

Groups are subsets of participants for a given worksite in UVaCollab. Groups can be created on an ad hoc basis by instructors in course sites or by owners or administrators in collaboration sites. Groups are useful to organize study groups, project teams, and other non-official subsets of worksite participants. In course sites, each course roster section behaves like a group. i.e., group-aware tools recognize the section as a group.

You can use groups to make site content available to specific site participants.  For example, a private announcement can be made available to a group and email notification can be sent to members of that group.  You can also use groups to create group assignments, or limit access to a test or quiz with settings for specific groups.

For information on creating and editing groups, see How do I create groups?

WARNING: If an assignment or assessment has been released to groups, changing which groups have access to the assignment, or modifying or deleting a group after students have begun work on the assignment or assessment can result in the loss of submissions!

In most cases, you'll want to simply accept the default access settings that a) make your site available (published) and b) restrict access to only the individuals you add to the site yourself. However, modifying your site access configuration is possible using these features.

If you are assigned to have group discussions, projects or assignments, your instructor or site administrator may allow you to choose your own group.  From a set of available groups, you can select a group to join in Site Info.
