Manually create classes
To manually create a class, please navigate to the Manage Classes page.
Then, click the Create a class button.
In the form that appears, name the class and select the grade of the class from the dropdown menu. Optionally, reset the class code for the class by clicking the Reset hyperlink. Then, click the Create class, next button.
On the next page, choose between two options to add students to this class.
Students create their own accounts
Choose the Students create their own accounts option if you want students to create their own Quill accounts and automatically be added to your class.
Then, click the Copy button to copy a unique link for the class and share it with your students. When students click the link, they will be prompted to sign up for their own Quill accounts and will be automatically rostered in your class.
Create accounts for students
Choose the Create accounts for students option if you want to create accounts for your students and add your students to your class, yourself.
Roster each of your students by entering their first name and last name and clicking the Add button so that Quill can generate a unique username and password for each student.
Tip 💡
Quill will generate a unique username that defaults to the pattern of the student's first name, a period, the student's last name, the @ symbol, and the class code of the class with the two words separated by a dash and a password that defaults to the student's last name with the first letter capitalized.
For a class with the class code, class-code, and a student with the name, Demo Student, their username will be demo.student@class-code, and their password will be Student.
Once you have rostered all of your students, click the Next button.
Lastly, you can download a PDF with students' usernames and passwords by clicking the Download PDF button for the class. To finish rostering the class, click the Done button.
Add new students to manually created classes
To add a student to a class, please navigate to the Manage Classes page.
Then, click the class to which you want to add the new student and click the Invite students button.
Choose either the Students create their own accounts option or the Create accounts for students option.
How students log into Quill with a Quill username and password
To log into their Quill accounts, students will navigate to Quill's login page, enter their username and password, and click the Log in button.
Tip 💡
If students forget their passwords, teachers can reset students' usernames and passwords on the Manage Classes page.
