Add a student

[KrystalGaines]

Hello, I am new to Canvas. I have registered for an account and gotten one of my children added to my profile, so I am able to view grades and assignments.  I have 2 other children in a Hillsborough school, but they are in elementary school, and have no way to generate a QR code. How am I am able to add the to view their grades? Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Krystal Gaines

Hi @KrystalGaines -

When your students are signed in, they can create a pairing code to share with you. (It could also be their teacher creates them in bulk and sends them home at a later time.) I included a few resources that may be helpful as you add your children to your account.

How do I generate a pairing code for an observer as a student? 

How do I link a student to my user account as an observer? 

How do I link additional students to my account in the Canvas Parent app on my iOS device?
