Ozaria offers several ways to add students to a class, including seamless integration with Google Classroom and the option for students to sign-up without needing email addresses.
Students can use the following options to join your class:
- Option 1: Students Join via Class Code
- Option 2: Students Join via Class URL
- Option 3: Students Join via Invite by Email
- Option 4: Students Join via Classroom Integrations
Option 1: Students Join via Class Code
Your Class Code is a unique, three-word code that is automatically generated for each class you create. It can be found in the Teacher Dashboard, under the My Classes tab, listed to the right of your class (or by clicking the Add Students button).
(student's perspective)
Share your Class Code with your students and direct them to click the I’m a Student button found on Ozaria's homepage. Here your students will need to enter your Class Code to create an account and join your class. When entering your Class Code, students should see the correct class name and teacher on the screen. Students will then need to enter the following information to finish creating their accounts:
- First Name
- Last Initial
- Username (please help them choose an appropriate, unique username)
- Password
Email addresses are not required for students creating an account using a valid Class Code.
Option 2: Students Join via Class URL
Your Class URL is a sharable link your students can use to create an account and join your class. It can be found in the Teacher Dashboard, under the My Classes tab, by clicking the Add Students button to the right of your class name.
(student's perspective)
When students visit your Class URL, they should see the correct class name and teacher on the screen. Students will then need to enter the following information to finish creating their accounts:
- First Name
- Last Initial
- Username (please help them choose an appropriate, unique username)
- Password
Email addresses are not required for students creating an account using a valid Class URL.
Option 3: Students Join via Invite by Email
Using the Invite by Email option will send your students an email instructing them on how to join your class by visiting the Class URL noted in the email. This option can be found in the Teacher Dashboard, under the My Classes tab, by clicking the Add Students button to the right of the class name, and then selecting Invite by Email. Enter your students’ email addresses separated by line breaks or commas (or copy and paste from a class list), confirm you're not a robot and click Done.

Google Classroom
Using the Sign in with Google option will allow you to sync your Google Classroom with Ozaria and automatically roster your students into an Ozaria classroom. This allows your students to skip the account creation process and log in using the Sign in with Google option.
To link your Google Classroom with Ozaria, you must log in to your Ozaria teacher account using the Sign in with Google option. In the Teacher Dashboard, under the My Classes tab, click the Add New Class button from the menu, and then click the Link Google Classroom button in the window. Select your Google Classroom from the drop-down list, choose a programming language, and click Next to complete the class syncing process. Students who have been synced to a class in Ozaria can now log in using the Sign in with Google option.
Please note the following when syncing a Google Classroom with Ozaria:
- Google Classrooms can only be synced once. To add additional students to a class after syncing, share your Class Code or Class URL with your students.
- You can not change the programming language of a classroom after it has been synced.
Clever
Clever functionality in Ozaria is limited to single sign-on only. To use Clever, click the Sign Up with Clever button, log in through the Clever portal, and in the Clever Authorize App page, select your class page(s), and then click Allow and Continue to proceed. Your students can then use the Sign Up with Clever option to log in to Ozaria.
However, students will still be required to enter a Class Code to join your class after logging in. See Option 1: Students Join via Class Code for more information on using Class Codes.
