4. If you do not know the abbreviation for the new student group, click the Look Up button and the Look Up Student Group search appears.

NOTE 1: You can only add student groups for which you have row-level security access. Prelaw and Premed have been assigned to everyone who has Advisor Center security.

NOTE 2: In this example, we know the student group name contains MED; thus, the student group operator was set to contains and MED was typed in the field. The search returned both student groups that contain MED. The link for Pre Medicine was clicked.
