Learn how teachers can add students to your Adobe Express for Education Classrooms.
The ways you can invite students to Adobe Express for Education depend on how your own educator account was set up. There are two ways educators get access to Adobe Express for Education:
Provided access by school/district: Your school or district has provided access to Adobe Express using your school-domain email. Students also have access to Adobe Express for Education on their school-domain email.
Independent educator‑verified accounts: Educators who are not provided access to Adobe Express for Education by their school or district can sign up independently and verify their educator status.

Ways to add students
You may see some or all of the following options for adding students to your Adobe Express classroom based on your educator account type:

- Google Classroom roster import
Add students with a link or class code
This method is available to all educators with school-provided accounts or independent educator-verified accounts.
Select Invite via class code or link.
A unique join URL and class code is generated.
Share the code or link with students:
- Post in your LMS (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, etc.)
- Share during class

Student experience: Students enter the join code at the provided URL and are added to your classroom with access to Adobe Express.
Invite students via email
This method is available only to educators who signed up for Adobe Express for Education independently and completed educator verification.
