Note: This article is intended for adding students to a section-code section, and is not relevant to Google Classroom/ Clever sections.
If your students already have a Code.org account, you can add students to your section without creating a new account for them.
Note: You will need to have already created your class section to complete the following steps.
Step 1: Have students sign into their previously created account
Ask students to sign in using the login method used to create their account (i.e. personal email, SSO (single sign-on like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, or Clever), secret words or picture passwords for a previous section they were added to)
Students can sign in by clicking the blue 'Sign in' button in the upper right corner of code.org. Note: If students see their name in the upper right corner rather than 'Sign in' this means they are already signed in.
Tip: If your students cannot remember their password, they can request a reset password link from the Code.org Sign In page (learn more about resetting passwords).
Step 2: Have students join your section
Once your students have signed in, they can visit code.org/join and enter the six-character section code of the section you've created. Alternatively, students can scroll to the bottom of their homepage and enter the six-character section code there:
You can find your six-character section code in two places:
Your 'Classroom Sections' table on your homepage
At the top right of the 'Roster' page of the Teacher Dashboard
Step 3: Ensure that students are joining your section
You can check to see if students have joined your section by going to your Teacher Home page, finding the section, and clicking the number in the 'Students' column. There, you will find all students who have joined your section.
Step 4: Get started!
Once your students have successfully signed in, they will be taken to one of two places:
- If you've assigned a course or unit to the section, students will be taken to that material once they join the section. Learn more about assigning work to your students.
- If you haven't assigned a course or unit to the section yet, students will be taken to their homepage once they join the section and they can pick an activity from there.
