4

Select the subject and grade level

Class Codes

Each class gets a unique 6-character code (e.g., "ABC123"). Students use this code to join your class:

  • Share the code verbally, on the board, or via your LMS
  • Students enter the code when signing up or in their settings
  • You can regenerate the code if needed (old code stops working)
  • Codes can be set to expire after a certain date
Tip: Display the class code on the first day of class and keep it visible until all students have joined.

Adding Students

Via Class Code

Students sign up for Cocovox and enter your class code. They appear in your roster immediately.

Via Email Invite

Enter student email addresses to send join invitations directly. Great for students who haven't signed up yet.

Bulk Import

Upload a CSV file with student names and emails to add an entire roster at once.

Managing Your Roster

View Students

Go to Teach → Classes → [Class Name] → Students to see all enrolled students.

Remove Students

Click the menu next to a student's name and select "Remove from class." Their work is preserved but they can no longer see class assignments.

Student Nicknames

Add nicknames to help identify students (e.g., if you have multiple students with the same name).

Class Settings

Configure your class from the Settings tab:

  • Class Name - Update the display name
  • Subject/Grade - Change categorization
  • Class Code - Regenerate or set expiration
  • Visibility - Archive old classes
  • Default Assignment Settings - Set defaults for due dates, attempts, etc.

Multiple Classes

If you teach multiple sections or subjects:

  • Create a separate class for each period/section
  • Reuse content across classes by assigning from your library
  • View all classes from the main Teach dashboard
  • Switch between classes using the dropdown menu

Co-Teachers

Add another teacher to help manage a class:

1

Go to class Settings → Co-Teachers

2

Enter the teacher's email address

3

They receive an invite and can view/manage the class

Archiving Classes

At the end of a term:

  • Archive the class to remove it from your active view
  • Students can still access their completed work
  • You can unarchive if needed
  • Archived classes don't count toward your student limit

Deleting Classes

Caution: Deleting a class removes all student enrollments and assignment records. This cannot be undone. Archive instead of delete unless you're sure.

Student Limits

Depending on your plan:

  • Educator Plan - Up to 150 total students across all classes
  • School Plan - Unlimited students with per-seat licensing
