  3. If your school’s student invite settings are set to Username or StudentID, you will not be able to utilise class join codes at this time.

What are Class Join Codes?

Class Join Codes are a quick and easy method of enrolment which enable your students to add themselves to your class.

  • Saving you time: No need for any manual data entry at your end.
  • Enhanced Security: You control who joins. Easily reset or disable the code at any time to prevent unwanted access after your class is set.
  • Effortless class setup: Perfect for the first day of class, just display the code at the front of your class and you're ready to go.

Accessing and managing your Class Join Code

In order to locate the class join code for one of your classes, open up the class and navigate through to the People tab. Click the Class join code button to view the steps you'll need to follow to have your students join your class.

There are 3 main steps that you will need to follow in order to have your students enrolled into your class via class join code:

  1. Have your students access our join code page (app.ca.educationperfect.com/joinclass)
    1. If they’re already signed into their account, they can click the + button in their left-hand navigation.
  2. Share the relevant join code with your students and have them input this within our join code page.
    1. We recommend expanding this and presenting it in front of your class
  3. Upon each student submitting their request to join your class, they will automatically have an account created where required and be added to your class upon approval.

Reviewing student join requests

When a student new to your school uses a class join code, you must approve their request for them to be added. This ensures only the desired students join your class. In order to review any pending requests:

  1. Navigate to the People tab of your class
  2. Click the Review Join Requests within the blue information banner
  3. A list will appear where you can review and approve all requests as a group
    1. You can also decline unwanted student requests here

Once approved, accounts will be created for any new students, and you can reset and download their login details from the table of students in your class. Additionally they'll also receive an email prompting them to log in.

Existing students will be added to your class automatically.

What's the class join code process from the student side?

The process for a student to join a class via class join code is simple:

  1. Access our join code page (app.ca.educationperfect.com/joinclass)
    1. If you’re already signed into your account, you can click the + button in your left-hand navigation.
  2. Enter the unique, 6 digit code that your teacher shared with you
  3. When prompted, enter your name and school affiliated email address
  4. Click Access!

That's it, any student that has an existing account with your school will be able to sign in and access their class straight away. For any new students, once their request has been reviewed and approved by their teacher, their account will be created and they'll be able to sign in with the login details provided through to them via email or their teacher.
