Open your class and choose Invite students. There are four ways in. Use whichever suits your class.

Way inHow
Join codeStudents go to /join and type it, or open the invite link. It shows as Join code under the class name, and as Classroom code in the invite panel, with Copy code and Copy invite link.
Send InviteType one email address. They get an invitation email with the join code in it too.
Add whole classPaste up to 100 addresses (one per line, or straight from a spreadsheet), or choose Upload CSV. Names and other columns are ignored.
Create accountsFor students with no usable email. See Create accounts for students.
The invite panel: an email field with Send Invite, Add whole class and Create accounts buttons, and the join code and invite link with copy buttons.
Every way of adding a student is in one panel.
The top of a new class page with its join code under the class name.
The join code sits under the class name.

What happens next

  • A student who already has an account joins straight away and gets an email saying so. Everyone else creates a free account from the invitation, then joins in one click.
  • Invited students show on the By student tab as Invited until they join. Invitations never expire.
  • In a class linked to your LMS, students who open an activity from your LMS course join on their own. See Connect your LMS.
  • If you have seats, one is given to each student automatically as they join. If not, they join anyway and use their own plan.

Questions we get about this

Can a student join without an invitation?
Yes. Give them the join code or the invite link.
What if I invite the same student twice?
Nothing bad happens. You're told they're already on the roster.
A student didn't get the email.
See A student didn't get their invitation. The quickest fix is to give them the join code.
