How can students be added to a Google Classroom if email invites are disabled?

Students can be added to a Google Classroom using a unique class code, which is a specific code generated for each class by the teacher. This method allows students to join the class independently without requiring email invites. When students enter the class code in Google Classroom, they can easily access all the materials, announcements, and assignments associated with that class.

Using a class code is particularly beneficial in situations where email invites are disabled, as it enables teachers to maintain control over who joins their class while simplifying the onboarding process for students. After entering the code, they are instantly added to the class roster.

While sending links, adding through a Google Group, or posting on social media might seem like alternative options, these methods either provide less security, lack the structure provided by Google Classroom, or fail to ensure that students are properly authenticated before joining the class. The class code offers a straightforward and secure way for students to become part of the Classroom environment directly.
