Clever-synced classes

If your Premium school or district uses Clever and all your classes are synced, there’s no need to create your classes in NoRedInk. These classes will automatically sync with your courses in Clever. Read more about using NoRedInk with Clever here.
You can edit your class names in NoRedInk in your “Manage Classes” page (click on the gear icon or navigate to this page by click on your name in the top right corner). Name changes made in NoRedInk to Clever Secure Sync classes will not be reflected in Clever or your SIS.
Canvas-synced classes

If your Premium school or district uses Canvas and all your classes are synced, there’s no need to create your classes in NoRedInk. These classes will automatically sync with your courses in Canvas. Read more about using NoRedInk with Canvas here.
You can edit your class names in NoRedInk in your “Manage Classes” page (click on the gear icon or navigate to this page by click on your name in the top right corner). Name changes made in NoRedInk to Canvas synced classes will not be reflected in Canvas.
Step 3: Add students
In order to access their assignments, students will need to join your NoRedInk class. You can invite students to join your NoRedInk class by sharing your class invite link or class code, or you can manually add students to your NoRedInk classes. When adding students manually, you'll need to share each of their usernames and passwords with them so that they can log in.
Watch this video to help you decide how you'll add students to your class. Then, expand one of the options below to find step-by-step instructions.
Invite students to join your class (recommended)
Add students manually
Inputting students names on your "Manage Classes" page creates a brand new NoRedInk account for each student you add. We only recommend adding students manually if students cannot sign up for NoRedInk on their own and if they do not already have a NoRedInk account.
Students won't need a separate class code since they'll be added directly to your class, but you will need to share each student's username and passwords with them so that they know how to log in.
Clever-synced classes

If your school uses Clever, your classes in NoRedInk will automatically sync with your class roster. Therefore, you won't see an option to add students.
Students will join your class automatically after they log in to NoRedInk via Clever and/or they link their accounts with Clever. Learn more here.
Canvas-synced classes

If your school uses Canvas, your classes in NoRedInk will automatically sync with your class roster. Therefore, you won't see an option to add students.
Students will join your class automatically after they log in to NoRedInk via Canvas and/or they link their accounts with Canvas. Learn more here.
Tips for helping students set up their NoRedInk accounts
- If you're getting started on NoRedInk during distance learning, the easiest way to add students to your class will be to use the invite links. You can use the sample invite letter to share instructions and your class invite link with students and parents at home.
- Have students sign up or connect their accounts with Google (for Google SSO). Linking a Google account allows students to sign in to NoRedInk quickly. Students that are being invited via class code or invite link can "sign up with Google" or, if students already have a NoRedInk account, they can link their existing account with Google.
- Share our Parent Guide to NoRedInk with parents and guardians of students in your class.
- Share our Getting Started Guide for Students so students know how to set up their accounts and join your class.
