Two ways to join a class

Students can be added to a course in whichever way suits your class:

  1. Join by code, hand out a short class code (for example AB12CD). From My Classes → Join a class, the student enters the code and is added to your roster automatically.
  2. Connect an instructor-issued account, if you created the account with a Student ID, the student connects it to their own login from their workspace. You stay in control of the roster either way.
A one-account-per-teacher guard keeps rosters clean: a student can connect only one account per instructor, so duplicate enrollments don't pile up.

What students see

  • My Classes, every live class the student has joined or been enrolled in, in one place.
  • Submit & review, upload submissions, read inline feedback, and view returned grades and rubric scores once released.
  • Learning modules, move through published modules in a clean sequential player.

My Classes is live in production. Students can join by code or connect an instructor-issued class account.

Academic Records after a teacher removes a class

If the class record is connected to a federated ProfDesk account when the instructor deletes the roster entry, course, or instructor account, ProfDesk detaches the student's own work into Academic Records. It becomes permanently read-only: the student can view existing submissions, marks, feedback, annotations, and the applied rubric snapshot, but cannot submit or change anything.

Only the student's academic record is retained. Assessment questions and context, solution keys, learning modules, lecture materials, and other instructor-owned files are deleted and are not copied into the federated workspace.

If the student deletes their federated account instead, detached academic records and personal-workspace content are deleted, while still-live connected class records return to the instructor's custody.

Current ProfDesk Academic Records page
Academic Records is live and clearly separated from active classes. Retained records are read-only.

Also a teacher?

If your account is a unified teacher account, you can take courses as a student too, see Workspace Modes for how the toggle works.
