These instructions are for students joining a class and creating an account on Pivot Interactives.
There are two ways to join a class:
If you were given a CLASS KEY by your instructor:
[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: this image shows the old www.pivotinteractives.com header; replace with the app Join a Class page]
Enter your class key, then click “Continue.” When you do this, the class name and instructor’s name will appear, if the key is correct. Click “Confirm” to join the class.
On the “Sign in to Pivot Interactives” page, log in if you already have an account (Google, Microsoft, Clever, ClassLink, or email and password). If you don’t have an account yet, click “Create A New Account.”
If you are in a Student-Pay Course
You will now be prompted to enter your bookstore code or pay with a card. Enter your bookstore code in the “Bookstore Code” box, click “Review Purchase,” then click “Pay & Join Class.” If you did not purchase a bookstore code, you can pay for your course subscription with a credit or debit card.
Note: Your bookstore code is only used during the payment step. You must use your class key or join link first to identify the class.
If you do not immediately see the "Bookstore Code" box, scroll down below the credit card payment options to locate it.
If you are enrolling in a second student-pay course, you will need a new bookstore code or must pay directly for that course.
[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: both payment-page images (here and in the Join Link section): the page now has a “Bookstore Code” box and a “Review Purchase” button]
If you were given a JOIN LINK by your instructor:
Click on the join link provided by your instructor.
If you are using Canvas, D2L/Brightspace, Blackboard, or Schoology, it is important that you click this link from within your course page.
Launching Pivot through the LMS establishes the connection between your LMS course and your Pivot account.
This will open a confirmation page. Verify that the class name and instructor’s name are correct. Click “Confirm” to join the class.
On the “Sign in to Pivot Interactives” page, log in if you already have an account (Google, Microsoft, Clever, ClassLink, or email and password). If you don’t have an account yet, click “Create A New Account.”
