On your demo class, Use this for real starts a new, empty real class. Nothing moves across from the demo, and the demo stays where it is.
Open your demo class
It's the one marked Demo in the sidebar.
Choose Use this for real
It's in the class header.
Name the class
Only Classroom name is required. Pick one you'll keep, like Accounting 101, Fall 2026: you can't rename a class yourself yet.
Add student emails, if you have them
Optional. Paste one per line in Pre-stage student invitations.
Choose Adopt this for my real class
You land on your new class, with its own join code ready to share.
The instructor approval checkbox
The form can also request instructor approval (for the Instructor's Manual and teaching files). If you leave that ticked and fill in your school and course, the invitations you pasted wait, marked Awaiting approval, and go out on their own once you're approved. Your join code works straight away either way.
Then
- Pick your chapters with Assignments. See Choose which chapters your class works on.
- Check Class settings. See Class settings: what each one does.
- Invite your students. See Invite students.
