Sections App Overview

The Sections app on CodeHS is where you can find links to all of your existing class Sections, create new Sections, and make changes to Section settings.

By default, when you log in to CodeHS you'll be taken directly to the Sections app. If you're viewing another page, you can always return to the Sections app by clicking on it from the left-hand navigation menu within the Classroom category:

Using the Sections App Tools

The Sections app features three tools - My Sections, New Section, and Settings - which can be accessed using the tabs at the top of the page:

My Sections

My Sections is the main page of the Sections app. Here you'll find an overview for each of your active Sections, including number of rostered students, active school year, the Course used, Free or Pro status, and the Class Code.

Click on a Section's title to go to the Roster app for that section:
