If your district enrolls through a third-party enrollment method (such as Clever, ClassLink, GG4L, or OneRoster), your classes should be synced from your enrollment method.
If your district enrolls directly with Amplify through the Admin Portal, teachers can create and manage their Amplify classes, add co-teachers, invite students with a class code, and, if applicable, add programs to their classes.
The help materials linked in this article assume that your district has already worked with Amplify to determine that self-enrollment is the best option to meet your enrollment needs. If you have not made this determination, refer to this website to review your Amplify enrollment options. Learn more about managing classes.

Programs
To ensure your students get the right content, you or an administrator at your school must associate at least one Amplify program with the class. A program is a unique set of content or applications, such as CKLA 3rd Edition or Amplify Caminos. Learn more about programs.
Each class can be assigned one or more programs.
If a program is entitled to your organization, it is automatically available to any actively-enrolled educator. If your district or school assigns programs to classes, ask your administrator if you aren’t seeing your programs.
If applicable, you can add programs to your classes. If a class has been archived, you must restore the class before you can add programs.
Click the class card to view the class details.
Click the Add programs field.
A list of your available programs displays.
Select the programs you want to add to the class.
All the programs your class has access to display, including programs you added and organization-level programs.
Students in the class have access to the programs. You can assign student work through individual lessons and activities.
If you don’t have access to a program that you should, contact your administrator.
Students tab
Share your class code with students to add them to the class. Once they enter the class code, they are enrolled in your class, and have access to all the programs associated with the class. Learn more about class codes.
Assign work to your students within individual lessons and activities.
Students cannot remove themselves from a class once they have joined. If they are no longer in the class, the teacher or administrator can remove them by clicking the Recycle bin icon to the right of the student’s name.
If the student is removed, they will still be able to log in to Amplify, but will only have access to their active classes.
Teachers tab
From the Teachers tab, you can add or remove co-teachers from the class.
Adding co-teachers
Primary teachers can add co-teachers to their class.
Click Add co-teachers.
The Add co-teachers options display.
Enter the teacher’s email address.
Click Add co-teachers.
The teacher will receive an email inviting them to join your class.
If they have an existing account, they can sign in to Amplify using the email associated with their account. If not, they should sign up for a new account.
Co-teachers can be removed from a class, but Primary teachers cannot. A Primary teacher must contact their administrator to be removed from a class in Admin Portal. Co-teachers can also remove other co-teachers from a class.
Present class code
A class code generates when a class is created. It displays on the Class details page.
Share the class code with your students so they can enroll in your class. Learn more about class codes.
If a student is no longer in a class, or is enrolled in the wrong class, a teacher or administrator can remove them from the class. If the student is removed, they will still be able to log in to Amplify, but will only have access to their active classes.
Student Login options
You can generate QR codes for the entire class or for individual students. QR codes allow students to log in to Amplify curriculum and applications quickly and easily by scanning their own unique code. They can be printed and distributed to students.
Generate QR codes:
Navigate to the Students tab of the Class details page, and click Login options.
To generate QR codes for the whole class, select an option for Whole class.
Click View QR codes to generate the QR codes on your screen or Download ZIP to download the QR codes.
