# Invite students

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must have the **Space Administrator** [role](/administration/roles.md) to invite students.
{% endhint %}

Once your teaching materials have been [set up](/getting-started/instructors/best-practice-structuring-your-course.md) and [distributed](/getting-started/instructors/distribute-to-prospective-students.md), you are ready to invite students.

## Sending invitations

1. Navigate to the space that contains your course.
2. Click the **Cogwheel** icon and select **Course Users / Instances**.
3. Click **+ INVITE**.
4. The default option is **User invitation** with **Invite to individual instances**. This creates a separate instance for each student so they can work independently.
5. Choose one of the two invitation methods:

<table><thead><tr><th width="159.8333740234375">Method</th><th>When to use</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Invite link</strong></td><td>Easiest option — share a link and anyone who clicks it joins the course.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Email</strong></td><td>Better for smaller courses where you want to invite specific students.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Each invited student receives their own instance and cannot see the Master instance or other students' instances.
{% endhint %}

For a detailed walkthrough of invitation options, see [Invite to a space](/administration/space-management/invite-to-a-space.md).
