The short answer
Share your join code or email invitations. A student types the code on the University tab under Career, ticks the box agreeing to share, and links their own account. You see nobody until they agree.
Student: link to an institution
Student menu
- Click Career
- Click University
- Click Link my account
Progress is shared after they agree
For the institution
- Open your portal and find Your join code on the dashboard, or open Invite students.
- Send the code or the link, or invite by email.
- Add a cohort or year if you want to group students (Cohorts).
Owners and managers can make a new join code. The old one stops working at once, and students already linked stay linked.
For the student
- Open the student menu and choose Career, then University.
- Type Your institution's code.
- Optionally add a cohort or year, department and roll number.
- Tick the box agreeing to share, then press Link my account.
The student can stop sharing at any time, and can press Share my progress again later.
What you see before a student links
Only the email address you typed. After they link and agree you see their progress.
If a student cannot link, check the code is current and that they are signed in with their own EDWartens account.
