Programs overview
What are programs?
A program is a set of content or applications for a single school year or unit. Programs are sometimes specific to an edition or standards.
Examples of programs include: Algebra I, Core Knowledge Language Arts® (CKLA) Grade 3, or Weather Patterns.
To ensure your students get the right content, your programs can be assigned by Amplify at the start of school or an administrator at your school can associate desired Amplify programs with your students’ classes.
What is the difference between a program and a license?
Licenses are collections of programs, which are district and product specific. Some districts can have multiple licenses per school year. License durations can span multiple years and are based on your district's purchase of the programs.
How does a license membership work?
The Amplify support team can designate at least one optional licensed staff member at your district to provide access to classes for Amplify English Language Arts (ELA), CKLA, Caminos, Math, Science, or Boost Close Reading.
License membership is not necessary for Boost Reading, Amplify Desmos Math, or mCLASS.
Administrators can email help@amplify.com to enable all district teachers to grant program access to their own classes.
How do I access my programs?
All programs are accessible from both Your Programs on Educator Home, and from the Programs & Apps menu located in the top-right corner.
Assigning programs
Each class can be assigned one or more programs. When programs are assigned to classes or your organization, you have nothing further to do.
Administrators can email help@amplify.com to enable all district teachers to grant program access to their own classes.
What if I have a new class roster?
One or more programs can be applied to a person, class, or organization.
A program access rule is a set of criteria, usually enrollment filters, that define what program(s) should be. Rules define which classes should have which products.
If a new class in a school district is shared with Amplify and it matches the criteria of a program access rule, then all of the teachers and students in that class will be given access to the district’s Amplify programs within 24 hours.

Who has permission to add programs?
License membership is independent of having access as a system-access user. It provides the ability to manage programs on a license.
In addition to license membership, administrators can email help@amplify.com to enable all district teachers to grant program access to their own classes
License membership is not necessary for Boost Reading, Amplify Desmos Math, or mCLASS, since these programs are entitled to your organization as part of licenses that span one or more school years. Access to these programs is granted to districts at the beginning of the school year by Amplify.
My license expired and I want to extend it.
Please contact your district or school administrator. They should reach out to Amplify to have it extended.
What if I have students join or leave my school? Will my district get charged?
You don’t need to worry about this! Amplify’s goal is for teachers and students to always have uninterrupted access to programs. We monitor license overages internally and would never block or limit access without providing your district advance notice.
