What is a class code?
Students need a class code to join a class in the CLMS. Being in a class means that students can communicate online with other members of their class, and teachers can view scores for all members of that class. Administrators can create a class code when they set up a class. Teachers should then give this class code to their students.
If you need to set up your own classes, see this video for more help.
How do I get teacher access to the Online Course or Online Workbook?
If your school or university already uses the Cambridge Learning Management System (CLMS), your administrator should be able to set you up. If you don’t have an administrator, you need to contact your local Cambridge representative for help.
