Turn your demo into a real class

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.

1. 1

   Open your demo class

   It's the one marked Demo in the sidebar.

2. 2

   Choose Use this for real

   It's in the class header. A form opens: Adopt this for your real class.

3. 3

   Choose the book

   Under Which book does this classroom teach? pick Lite or Standard. It starts on Standard, and you can switch the whole class later from the top of its page. It never changes what anyone owns.

4. 4

   Name the class

   Type a Classroom name you'll keep, like Accounting 101, Fall 2026: you can't rename a class yourself yet.

5. 5

   Add student emails, if you have them

   Optional. Paste one per line in Pre-stage student invitations. Lines that aren't email addresses are listed under the box and skipped.

6. 6

   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

If you aren't an approved instructor yet, the form also offers to request approval (for the Instructor's Manual, evaluation copies and answer keys), and the box starts ticked. While it's ticked, Institution, Course name, Course type and Expected enrollment are required; untick it to skip them. The invitations you pasted then wait, marked Awaiting approval on By student, and go out on their own once you're approved. If you're already approved, they go out straight away. Your join code works either way.
