    You must verify your educator status to invite students to your class or assignments. Educators who were provisioned an account by their school administrator will not need to verify their educator status.

Classrooms for educators with multiple profiles 

Some educators and students have multiple profiles because the organizations that house their accounts were created to support multiple Adobe activities within the district or school. When creating a classroom, ensure you have selected the profile that matches your students’ profiles and vice versa. Otherwise, your students cannot join your classroom. If a student attempts to join a class created in a profile different from theirs, they will see an error screen.

To resolve this, re-create the class in your student’s profile using these steps.

  1. Open the Switch profile dropdown and select the profile that your students see in their profile.

    Adobe Express for Education open in the Classroom tab where Create class option is displayed an existing classroom is also displayed.
    Educators with multiple profiles can use the profile switcher to view and switch between profiles .

    Note:

    If your students don't see the profile switcher, they are most likely in the root profile. The root profile name is often the name of the school district, for example, Southview District, and not Southview CTE

  2. Create a new class and select Add students. You can also invite students via a class code. Generate a new code and then send it to your students.
