Add students to a class team you've already created. You'll also be able to choose if they should receive past assignments in the class. If you're having trouble adding students to your class, check with your IT Admin to make sure you have the right permissions.
Tip: If your IT Admin has created Microsoft 365 groups for your classes, ask for the group name. You can enter the group name to add all students at once. Learn more.
