Use the Student Self-Join Link (Teacher)
Do you need to add students to a class and wish to do it as fast and painlessly as possible? We find the Student Self-Join Link is the most effective way to add students. It's easy to do and saves you time. When to use the self-join link, you can add students with existing accounts to your class. You can also, use the self-join link to move students from one class to another.
Pro-Tip 1: Through the student self-join link, students can join your class by creating a new account or using an existing one.
Pro-Tip 2: If you synced your classes via Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, your classes won't have a join code. As a workaround, you could create a new class in your teacher portal, and share that join link with your students. They'll be able to join that class using their own accounts.
Pro-Tip 3: You can't use the student self-join link if you're rostering your classes through Clever or ClassLink
