# How do I create a class?

This article explains how teachers can create and configure classes in SpacesEDU.

###### Before You Start

* If your school or district uses SpacesEDU Pro with Class Rostering, your classes and students may already be set up. Log in to check before creating a new class.
* If you see an empty class called **My First Class**, you can rename and customize it instead of creating a new one. Click the class name and select **Edit**.
* Teachers can have up to 20 active (unarchived) classes at a time.

**Creating a Class**

1. Click the **Home** button in the top left to open the classes panel
2. Click **+ Add Class** (bottom right)
3. Enter a class name and select the applicable grade(s)
4. Choose a class avatar
5. Click **Add Class**

You will be redirected to your new class where you can start inviting students. See [How do I invite students to join my class?](https://spacesedu.crisp.help/en-ca/article/how-do-i-invite-students-to-join-my-class-164lrop)

**Editing a Class**

To update a class name, grade, avatar, or settings at any time:
1. Click the **Home** button to open the classes panel
2. Click the **3 dots** beside the class you want to edit
3. Select **Edit Class**
4. Make your changes across the available tabs:

| Tab | What you can change |
| ---- |
| **General** | Class name, grade(s), and avatar |
| **Class Settings** | Allow reactions, allow students to delete their own posts, activate a sample student |
| **Curriculum Tags and Goals** | Toggle curriculum tag and goal options on or off |
5. Click **Save Changes**

**Archiving or Leaving a Class**

From the **3 dots** menu beside any class on your homepage:
| Option | What it does |
| ---- |
| **Archive Class** | Hides the class from your active list. Still accessible from the **Archived** tab (top right). |
| **Leave Class** | Permanently removes you from the class. The class will not appear in your Archived tab. |

| 💡 Tip: Archive classes at the end of the school year rather than leaving them. Archived classes retain all student work and can be referenced later.

###### Good to Know

* You can have up to 20 active classes at a time. Archive older classes to make room for new ones.
* A Class Space is created automatically when you create a class. You don't need to set it up separately.
* After creating a class, your next step is to invite students.
