# How do students create their accounts?


This article explains how students can sign up for a SpacesEDU account and join classes manually.

###### Before You Start

* Students rostered into classes with SpacesEDU Pro don't need to sign up manually. Their classes appear automatically when they first log in.
* Manual sign-up requires an email address. Student accounts without email can only be created through rostering.
* Email validation is not required, so students can use a school-provided or fictitious email if necessary.
* Looking for how to invite students as a teacher? See [How do I invite students to join my class?](https://help.spacesedu.com/en-ca/article/how-do-i-invite-students-to-join-my-class-164lrop/)


###### Creating Your Account

1. Go to the sign-up page for your region:
    * 🇨🇦 Canada / International: [Sign Up](https://account.ca.myblueprint.org/signup)
    * 🇺🇸 United States: [Sign Up](https://account.app.myblueprint.org/signup)
2. Enter your email address
3. If prompted with a Single Sign-On (SSO) page, log in with your school username and password
4. If you see "Select your account type," click **I'm a Student**
5. Choose your sign-up method:
    * **Google or Clever:** Click the matching button at the top of the page
    * **Email:** Enter your name, search for your school, set a password, and accept the Terms of Use
6. Click **Sign Up**

###### Joining a Class

To use SpacesEDU, you need to join at least one class.

1. Log in to your account
2. Check if you're already in a class (look for the class name in the top left of your screen)
3. If you need to join a new class, click the **Home** button to return to the main page
4. Click **Add Class** (bottom right)
5. Enter the **Class Code** provided by your teacher

| 💡 **Tip:** You can switch between SpacesEDU and myBlueprint by clicking the logo in the top left corner. Joining a myBlueprint class uses the same process: click **Classes** on the Dashboard or switch to SpacesEDU and click **Add Class**.

###### Good to Know

* If you're already in a class when you log in, you were likely rostered by your school or teacher.
* You can be in multiple classes at the same time.
* If you don't have a Class Code, ask your teacher for one.
* Using myBlueprint doesn't require you to join a class, but joining one gives you access to SpacesEDU features.
