Students never create an account or a password. They need your class code and a name. Everything below is on the class page: open **Classes** and click the class.

## Four ways to bring students in

| Way | Where to find it | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Class code | The **Class code** box on the class page, and at the top of the live view | Saying it out loud or writing it on your board: students go to join.learnworkly.com and type it |
| Join link | **Copy join link** on the class page | Sending in a message or email: the code is already filled in |
| QR code | **Show join screen** on the class page or in the live view | Sharing your screen at the start of a lesson: students scan it with a phone camera |
| Personal link | **Personal link** next to each name in the **Students** list | One student, on any device, always back to the same work |

## What a student does

1. **Open the join page** They go to **join.learnworkly.com**, open your join link or scan the QR code.
2. **Enter the code and a name** Under **Join your class**, they type the **Class code** (already filled in from a link or QR code) and **Your name**, then tap **Join**.
3. **Start working** They see what you have assigned to the class. If only one assignment is open, it opens straight away.

## Personal links

Each student has a personal link. Opening it signs them straight back in as themselves, with all their earlier work, on any device. Students can also copy their own link from their class page with **Copy your personal link to come back on another device**.

To set students up before the first lesson, type each name in **Add a student** on the class page, then click **Personal link** next to the name to copy it and send it to that student.

## Joining with the code always adds a new student

> **Joining with the code always adds a new student:** If you added a student by name and they then join with the class code, they appear a second time. Send students you added yourself their **Personal link** instead.

## Frequently asked questions

**A student sees "This class is full. Please ask your teacher."**
Your plan’s student limit is reached: 10 students on Free, 50 on Solo, up to 1,000 on Pro, counted across all your classes. Remove students who have left, or see [Plans and billing](https://learnworkly.com/help/account/plans-and-billing).

**Two students share a tablet. How do they switch?**
On the student’s class page, tap **Not you? Sign out**. The next student then joins with the code or opens their personal link.

**Do students need an email address?**
No. Email addresses are optional and only used if you want to send emails to an adult student or a parent. See [Emails to students and parents](https://learnworkly.com/help/classes/emails-to-students-and-parents).
