What are class codes, and how do I use them?

Learn how to enable, share, and manage class codes so students can easily join your classes

Written by Erin Piquero

Class codes allow students to join a class on their own without an administrator or teacher needing to add them manually. Once a class code is enabled, simply share it with your students and they'll be able to join your class in just a few clicks.

Note: Before enabling a class code, make sure you've already created a class. If you haven't done this yet, see Adding and Managing Classes for step-by-step instructions.
Students must also be added to your TTRS account before using class codes.
