# Invite students

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Outcome**</mark>\
You invite your students to the course, with each student receiving their own individual instance.

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Before you start**</mark>

* You are a **Space Administrator** of the course.
* Your teaching materials are set up in the Master Instance and ready to be distributed.

#### **Send the invitations**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the course space.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the cogwheel icon and select **Course Users / Instances**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **+ INVITE**.

The default is **User Invitation** with **Invite to individual instances** - this creates a separate Instance for each student so they can work independently.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose between invitation methods (see below).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### **Invitation method**

<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 for larger cohorts - share one link, anyone who clicks it joins.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Email</strong></td><td>Better for smaller courses where you want to invite specific students by name.</td></tr></tbody></table>

For all space-level invitation options (including invitation links with expiry), see [Administration › Space management](/administration/space-management.md).
