Note: It's only possible for a Student to be a member of 1 Year Group at a time. Their connection to a year group is a key data point that ties them to their records on ManageBac.

Moving Students between Year Group Sections

If you need to move a student between year group sections (ie Grade 12 A to Grade 12 B), you will need to

  • Navigate to Year Group A > Members tab > Remove the student, and then
  • Navigate to Year Group B > Members tab > Add the student

Moving Students between Year Groups of different Grade Levels or Programmes

In some instances, you may need to move a student to a different year group. These cases could include:

  • A student who is repeating a year
  • A student who was added to a year group incorrectly
  • A student who has switched academic programmes

Note: If you wish to move an entire group of students as they graduate or advance to a new grade, please refer to Step 8 of our tutorial on Transitioning to a New Academic Year here.

Admin users can move students from one year group to another via Settings > School Directory > Memberships.

Via Settings > School Directory > Memberships
