How invite codes work

Every classroom gets a unique invite code at creation time — six characters, uppercase letters and digits only (e.g. ATH-7K42X9). The code is permanent for the life of the classroom and acts as the fallback for any student who didn't get auto-enrolled.

Codes appear at the top of the classroom page next to the share button. Click the code to copy it; click Share link to copy a full join URL instead.

Auto-enrollment by year and division

When you create a classroom, Athenium reads the year and division you picked and creates a pending invitation for every student whose profile matches. The next time those students log in, the classroom appears as an invitation card on their dashboard — they accept with one click.

This is why student onboarding asks for year and division up front: without those fields the matcher has nothing to bind against.

Mid-semester transfers

If a student changes year or division after onboarding, ask them to update their profile first. Auto-invites are evaluated when classrooms are created and when student profiles change — older classrooms won't appear retroactively without a manual code.

Sharing the link

For students who fall outside your auto-invite criteria — exchange students, audit listeners, late joiners — share the join link instead:

https://your-athenium.app/join/ATH-7K42X9

Anyone with the link can join, so treat the code like a password for small or sensitive classrooms.

Removing a student

Open the classroom, switch to Members, and click the menu next to a student's row. Remove deletes the membership but keeps their submissions and attendance — useful when someone drops the course but you still need their record for grading.

Bulk invitations

Need to send invites to a list that doesn't map cleanly to year and division? Email the list to your institution admin; they can bulk-add users from the admin panel and the next classroom you create will auto-enroll them.

Common pitfalls

Wrong division string. “A” and “a” are different values. Standardize the values your institution uses.
Year format drift. Use either “2” or “Second Year” — pick one and stick with it.
Stale invitation cards. If a student dismisses an invite by accident, share the code as a fallback.
