### Entering a Class Code (Optional)

If your teacher gave you a Class Code, enter it in the “Class Code” box during sign-up to connect to their classroom automatically. 🎓 ![sign up screen student class code](https://help.readtheory.org/hs-fs/hubfs/sign%20up%20screen%20student%20class%20code.png?width=670&height=576&name=sign%20up%20screen%20student%20class%20code.png)
