Creating a New Class

1. Log into your instructor account.

2. Select "Classes" from the menu on the left.

3. Click "New Classroom"

When naming a class, use unique words that will help you quickly locate the class on a list. It may help to develop a naming convention so that your classes will be easy to find when using the search feature. With that in mind, you should avoid words like "SAT," "Test Prep," "Class," or "Course."

Entering the Class Settings

4. Enter the name of your new class.

5. Choose a Course Start Date. (Optional)

6. Choose a Course End Date. (Optional)
