Already have an Intertwined account and need to join a new class? Maybe you switched periods, picked up a second class that uses Intertwined, or have a new teacher this year. You don't need a new account. You add the class to the account you already have with the new class code.
Before you start: Get the class code (it looks like ABCD-1234) or the join link from your new teacher, and log in to your existing account.
Join with a class code
Log in and go to your Dashboard.
In the banner at the top, click Join a class ("Enter a class code").
The Join a class box opens. Type the code into CLASS CODE, with the dash in the middle.
Click Join class.
You'll see "You've successfully joined the class with code ..." and the box closes by itself.
Join with a link
Tap or click the link from your teacher.
If you're already logged in, a page called Join your class shows the class code. Check that it matches what your teacher shared.
Click Join class. You'll see "You've joined the class." and land on your dashboard.
Changed your mind? Click Not now instead.
If you aren't logged in when you open the link, you'll land on the sign-up form instead. Don't fill it out. Click Log in at the top of the page, log in to your account, then open the link again (or use Join a class on your dashboard).
What changes when you're in more than one class
Each class you join is its own space. Here's what that means for you.
Each class keeps its own progress
Your lessons, quizzes and scores in one class stay with that class. If two of your classes use the same course, you'll have separate progress in each, and work you did in one class doesn't count in the other.
Simulators are per class too
Your Budget, Investing, Startup, Economy and Business simulators each belong to one class. A portfolio you build in one class's Investing Simulator is separate from any in another class. Arcade games are the exception: your Arcade play belongs to you, not to a class.
Some pages show one class at a time
Your Reports page has a Class picker, so you can switch between your classes. See Your Reports page.
Your Dashboard, My Courses and Assignments pages show the courses and assignments from one of your classes. There's no switch to choose which one. Each course card shows its class name, so you can see which class you're looking at.
If you're in two classes and can't find a course or assignment from one of them, tell your teacher.
If joining doesn't work
"Class code must follow the format XXXX-XXXX"
The code you typed doesn't have the right shape. It needs four letters or numbers, a dash, then four more. Check for missing characters, extra spaces or a missing dash. You might also see "Class code is too long" or "Class code can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens," which point to the same kind of typo.
"The class code you are using does not exist or is expired. Please contact your teacher for a new code"
Intertwined couldn't add you with that code. There are two common reasons:
The code has a typo. Compare it with your teacher's code character by character. Watch for O and 0, and I and 1.
You're already in that class. You can't join the same class twice. Check the class names on your course cards, or ask your teacher whether you're on their roster.
If neither one fits, ask your teacher for the code again.
"That link doesn't look right"
The link is missing part of the code. Ask your teacher to send the link again, or type the code into Join a class yourself.
Tips
Use one account for every class. A second account means a second username and password to remember, and your work gets split between them.
If your teacher created an account for you in the new class, ask them whether you should use that one or join with your existing account. Use whichever one your teacher expects.
Write down which class each teacher's code was for. If something seems to be missing later, it helps your teacher figure out what happened.
Common questions
Can I leave a class?
Not on your own. Ask your teacher. They can remove you from their class.
Will my new teacher see my work from my old class?
Each class keeps its own work. Your new class starts fresh.
Can I join a class with a teacher account?
No. Class codes are for students. If you're signed in as a teacher and open a join link, you'll see "This link is for students."
I joined the wrong class by mistake.
Tell the teacher of that class so they can remove you, then join the right class with the correct code.
