HOW TO INVITE STUDENTS TO A CLASS

This article is for teachers. This action is prohibited and blocked by the Site administrators for Students.

You'll need to invite students to classes in order for them to be able to view and take part in a class.

You can invite students to enroll in your class in 3 ways:

• Send an invite link—Students click the link to join.

• Send an email invite—Students can join from the email or in Classroom.

• Share a class code—Students enter the code in Classroom.

Remember, you can only add students from within the organisation. That's users with an @fosbrookfolkeducation.org.uk email address. The most common format is firstname.lastname@fosbrookfolkeducation.org.uk. These accounts are only accessible from within the organisation. To add a student from a personal or other external source. Please contact the site administrators via support with the email of the student you wish to add and why, and they can create an exception rule.
