Invite teachers and students to your class


Invite teachers and students from your school to your class by entering their email addresses, sharing invite links, or importing your Google Classroom class.

In line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (ā€œCOPPAā€) (if applicable) and our Privacy Policy, students below 13 need parental consent to use Canva Education.

Before you invite students into your class, check if you need to get parental consent first.

  • In the United States, the FTC who enforces COPPA has provided guidance that schools or districts may act as a parent’s agent and provide consent on their behalf.
  • If your education institution has signed up for Canva institution-wide, your administrators may already have a process in place for confirming parent permission for students to use Canva. Please check with your tech admins if you are unsure.
  • If you require consent forms, you can use this sample consent template to help teachers get consent.

It’s your institution’s responsibility to determine how to use Canva and to ensure it meets your requirements. Include your school’s contact information and details about the services that you enable, and share it along with resources about Canva’s Privacy Policy.
