Count of Students assigned

There is a count displayed of the total number of students assigned to you as their cohort lead. This count is not impacted by any filtering of your cohorts.

Filtering your Cohort

Each data column is filterable by entering text into to the box at the top of the column. You can filter on multiple columns at one time.

Sorting your Cohort

The screen can be sorted either ascending or descending by one column using the arrows in the column header.

Step 4 - E-mail students either singularly or in bulk

Please note, when emailing students via the Cohort Lead tool, the default email application on your device will generate the email. If you are using a personal device and/or your default email is set to your personal email address (e.g. hotmail, gmail etc), this is the application that will open. To email from your University account, login to a University of Edinburgh device so that the default application is your University email, or cut and paste the Bcc field list of students from the automatically generated email, and paste into an email opened from your University account.

E-mailing an Individual student

You can e-mail a student individually by clicking on their e-mail address in the e-mail data column.

​​​​​​Your e-mail client will launch and populate the Students address into the 'To' field.

E-mail multiple students 

You can select which students you wish to add to a bulk e-mail by selecting the checkbox for each student you wish to include. Once you have selected all required students click Bulk Email.

Please note, if you select over 75 students, the email will likely not generate. If you encounter this issue, please filter your students to a list size of 75 or less. 

Your e-mail client will launch and populate the Students address into the 'BCC' field and the Cohort Leads address into the 'To' field.

E-mail multiple students (Select All)

You can use the select all function to select all students showing on screen to be included in a bulk e-mail, this function will take into account any filters you have applied.

Then click Bulk Email this will launch your e-mail client and populate the Students address into the 'BCC' field and the Cohort Leads address into the 'To' field.
