This page is for teachers
You can invite students to enrol in your class in three ways:
- Send an invite link – students click the link to join.
This feature is rolling out over the next week. - Send an email invite – students can join from the email or in Classroom.
- Share a class code – students enter the code in Classroom.
If students have trouble with the link or code, you can reset it or send students an email invite instead.
For instructions on how to join a class, students can go to Join a class.
Note: Students can unenrol themselves from classes. If they unenrol, their marks are removed.

Each class that you create has a class code. You share the code with students so that they can join your class. To share the code, paste it into an email or write it on the board.

- Sign in to Classroom at classroom.google.com.
- On the homepage, click Add
.
- In the box, enter the code that was given to you and click Join.
- For more detailed instructions, go to join a class as a student.
For each class, you have an invite link and a class code, known as the Invite codes. You can share the invite codes with students, so that they can join the class.
By default, the invite codes are on (enabled).
You can:
- Reset invite codes, if you have trouble with them.
- Disable invite codes, so new students can't join your class.
- Enable invite codes, so new students can join your class.
You only need to do this if you have disabled the codes.
Note: When you reset or enable invite codes, Classroom creates new invite codes. The previous codes won't work.
- Tap Classroom

- Under General, next to Student invite settings, tap More

For more details, go to invite students with class code or invite students with an invite link, above.
You can invite students from outside of your school's or organisation's domain in the same way that you invite students from your domain, but your IT administrator has to turn on the setting.
If you're an administrator, to turn the setting on or off go to configure class settings.
