Creating a CodeHS Account

Your teacher should give you a URL or a Class Code. If you click on the URL, you’ll be asked to create an account with CodeHS. You can also go to codehs.com and sign up as a student, then enter the Class Code to join your teacher’s Section.

If your class uses Google Classroom

CodeHS sections that use Google Classroom will not have a Class Code. After your teacher creates their section, all you need to do is:

If your Teacher Gave you a Join Link

  • Click the Join Link or copy and paste it into your browser

If your Teacher Gave you a Class Code

  • Go to codehs.com

  • Click Sign Up

  • Click Create Student Account

Create Your Account

  • Enter your first and last name

  • Enter an email address (Note: your email address does not need to be a working email. This will be your login and your teacher can change it later if they need to)

  • Create a password (Your teacher can help with resetting your password if you need it.)

  • If your teacher gave you a Class Code, enter it at the bottom of the page. If your teacher sent you a Join Link, it will be filled in automatically. If you don't have a class code or a join link, please reach out to your teacher.

Enrolling in Another Section from the Student Page

If you already have a CodeHS account, you can enroll in a new Section by using the Class Code.

  • Go to codehs.com/join_class or click on Join Section located in the left navigation bar

  • If you’re logged into CodeHS and visit the invitation URL, you’ll automatically go to the Join Section page
