Quick answer

For one student, go to Year Group > Community Engagement, select the student and assign an advisor under Members on the right. For many students, open the year group's Members tab and use Add Members > Community Engagement Advisors or Bulk Assign Students.

For coordinators assigning advisors to MYP students for Community Engagement (formerly Service as Action), one at a time or in bulk.

⚠️ Service as Action is now Community Engagement

ManageBac+ now uses Community Engagement in place of Service as Action (SA) for MYP. Some screenshots and labels in this guide still show the old name, and year groups set up before the change may still show Service as Action or SA. The steps are the same. See Service as Action and Service Learning are now Community Engagement.

Moving existing year groups to Community Engagement: year groups already using Service as Action keep the old setup until they are migrated. Migration means matching existing learning outcomes and hours to the new Community Engagement setup, and some of this data may not carry across, so it works best at the start of an academic year, before students add new activities. Submit a request and we will help you plan the move.

Teacher and advisor accounts must exist before they appear in the advisor lists.
