What is a student pairing code?

[emily_eads]

I have had a few parents tell me that they are having difficulty with Canvas because the app is requesting a student pairing code. Where do you get this code?

Hi Emily!

Students can follow this lesson to create a pairing code:

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

Then, Observers can follow this lesson to link their account with their student's:

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

If your families have any follow-up questions, feel free to share the blog I wrote:

Good luck!
