Class membership

Table of Contents

All users within your Google Workspace domain can be invited to join a class. To allow other users to join your class they must first be whitelisted with the other domains.

All Google Workspace domains in Glow will automatically be whitelisted with one another.

Add students to your class #

To invite students to join your class you can send them an email, issue them with a join code or share an invite link. To invite a student from a whitelisted domain you must know their email address to add them to the list. Their name will not appear in the directory. Some additional support on invite methods is available on the Google support site.

Join codes allow you to issue a code to allow members to quickly and easily join your Classroom. This is a good way to add students as it engages them with the process and you can reset the code when you’re finished.

  • Anyone using the join code will be added to the Classroom with no need for join requests or further approvals
  • A join code can be used as many times as you want
  • If you use a join code, its recommended that you monitor the membership of the Classroom to ensure only intended users join, and to reset the code regularly or remove the code when it is no longer required
  • As join codes automatically admin people to your Classroom, it is not recommended that they are published widely (e.g. on websites).
