Joining Classfolio with a code

What does this do?

One place to enter any code you have been given. Classfolio works out where it goes from the code itself, so you do not need to know whether you are joining a class or a staff training cohort. A staff training code starts with STAFF-; any other code is a class code.

When should I use it?

Use this the first time you are asked to join something — a class you have been put in, or CPD your training lead has set up. If you already have a link, you can follow that instead; it does the same thing.

How do I use it?

1. 1Go to classfolio.co.uk/join, or choose 'Have a code?' in the menu
2. 2Type or paste the code exactly as you were given it — capitals do not matter
3. 3Choose Continue
4. 4Sign in if you are asked to; you will come back to the same place afterwards
5. 5Check the name shown is the class or cohort you expected, then confirm

Common mistakes

• Assuming you must pick 'student' or 'teacher' first — you do not, the code decides
• Being signed in to the wrong account: a class code will not work on a staff account, and a STAFF- code will not work on a pupil account. Sign out and use the right one
• Trying to join staff training with a pupil account — ask your training lead to give you staff access first
• Typing the letter O for the digit 0, or mistaking 1 for I when reading a code off a screen
