How do students login for the first time?

In order for your students to log in, Teachers or School Admins must first confirm that the student has been added to the school account.

Once the students are added to the school account, they can log in via the information below (depending on your school's login method). Before proceeding, you may want to familiarize yourself with the difference between Username and Email login, which is set by the School Admin in the School Settings: Username Login vs. Email Login.


All Login Methods

Regardless of the login method your school is using, every account will have its username or email available on the School Students page list, as well as its password.


You can provide these details manually or, by following this article, you can also easily print access cards to provide students with their login information: As a teacher, how can I provide students their login information? 

From there, students only need to head to login.zenva.com to log in. Once students log in, they can then change the password to whatever it is they want from their My Account page.

 

Email Login - Non-SSO ONLY

This section applies only to Email Login when the school does not intend to use our Single Sign-On option.
  • If you chose to send the students automatic account set-up emails upon adding them, they each should have received an email with a link. By clicking this link, students can set their password, and then be able to log in per normal login flows. 
  • At any time after their account is created, students can use the Forgot Password reset form to change their password. From there, they can log in as normal with that password.

AlertNote: If students did not receive an automatic email per the first point, it could be that your school is blocking our emails. You will need to contact your IT department to have our emails whitelisted.


Email Login - SSO

If you intend to use our Single Sign-On option and everything is set up for it, students need only to follow the steps outlined in this article with their Azure AD, Office 365, or Google account credentials: How do I Log in to Zenva Schools?
