Who this applies to
Some educators use Everfi but aren't assigned official Clever or ClassLink sections. This may include:
- Counselors
- Interventionists or specialists
- After-school educators
- Co-teachers or support staff
If you aren't assigned rostered sections, you can still create a class and give students access to Everfi courses.
When to use a custom class
A custom class may be appropriate if you work with students but do not have official Clever or ClassLink sections assigned to you.
Important: Don't create a custom class as a temporary workaround if you're a rostered classroom teacher and your expected Clever or ClassLink sections are missing. Contact your district IT or SSO administrator to resolve the roster issue instead.
Create a custom class
To create a class without a rostered section:
- Sign in to your teacher account.
- Go to My Classes and select Create Class.
- Choose Custom Class instead of selecting a Clever or ClassLink section.
- Enter the required class information.
- Add the courses you want to assign.
- Create the class.
After you create the class, copy the class code and share it with your students.
Students use the class code to join your class. Once students begin using their assigned courses, you can monitor their progress from the class.
Keep custom and rostered classes separate
A custom class is separate from a class connected to a Clever or ClassLink roster.
If your district later assigns an official rostered section to you, use the rostered section for your new Everfi class rather than trying to combine it with your existing custom class.
Frequently asked questions
Can I merge a custom class with a Clever or ClassLink class later?
No. Custom classes and rostered Clever or ClassLink classes cannot be merged.
Can students who use Clever or ClassLink join a custom class?
Yes. Students can use a class code to join a custom class even if they normally access Everfi through Clever or ClassLink.
Can I manually add students to a rostered Clever or ClassLink class?
No. Student membership in rostered classes is managed through your district's Clever or ClassLink information. Contact your district IT or SSO administrator if the roster needs to be corrected.
When to contact your district or Everfi Support
Contact your district IT or SSO administrator if you're supposed to have rostered sections but they are missing, incomplete, or incorrect.
Contact Everfi Support if you don't have rostered sections and need help creating or managing a custom class.
