Your class code is the fastest way to get students into your classroom. It's a unique identifier that students enter during registration to automatically join your class.
Finding Your Class Code
Open the classroom you want students to join.
Look at the top-right corner of the page for the blue Share Class Code button.
Click it. A pop-up will appear with your unique class code.
The class code appears on every tab inside the classroom, so you can grab it from Classroom Performance, Settings, Students — wherever you happen to be.
How Students Use the Code
When a student registers a new Intertwined account:
They go to intertwinedfinance.com → Register → I am a Student.
During signup, they're prompted to enter a class code.
They type in the code you shared.
They're automatically enrolled in your classroom — no further action needed on your end.
If a student already has an Intertwined account (e.g., from a previous semester or another teacher's class), they can log in and add your class code to join your classroom without creating a new account.
Best Practices for Sharing the Code
In-class display Project the class code on your board or screen during the first day. Keep it visible for the full period — students may need it more than once if they hit registration hiccups.
Through your LMS Post the code in Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or whatever your school uses. Students appreciate having it written down somewhere they can return to.
On a printed handout For younger students, print the code on an index card or first-day handout. Include simple step-by-step registration instructions.
Email or message Send the code along with the registration link to absent students or students joining mid-semester.
Class Code Security
Your class code is not a secret password — it just tells Intertwined which classroom a new student should join. However, you should still avoid posting it in fully public places (school website, public social media), since anyone with the code could attempt to register and join your class.
If you suspect someone outside your class has joined, head to the Students tab and remove them. See 2.5 Managing Your Student Roster for details.
When to Use Class Codes vs. Generated Credentials
Use class codes when students:
Have their own email addresses
Are old enough to self-register
Are likely to have device/internet access at home
Use generated credentials when students:
Don't have school email accounts
Are younger learners (typically grades 3–8)
Need consistent, simple login info managed by the teacher
