When you create a Class Notebook in OneNote, each student added to the notebook shares access to its Content Library and Collaboration Space. Each student also has their own notebook, which contains a private workspace only you and they share.
Important:Â The steps below add students only for Class Notebooks created with the Class Notebook Wizard at aka.ms/ClassNotebook. If the Class Notebook was created in Microsoft Teams, add the student to the class team instead. If it was created through Microsoft 365 LTI in your LMS, add the student to the LMS course roster instead. In Teams and LMS Class Notebooks, the rosters updates from those sources.
Students need a Microsoft 365 account at your school before they can be added to your Class Notebook.
Add students to OneNote Class Notebook
-
Sign in to microsoft365.com with the log-in provided by your school.
-
Select Class Notebook, then Add or remove students in the Class Notebook Wizard. If you don't see the Class Notebook app right away, go to aka.ms/classnotebook or open Apps > All apps.
-
Select the notebook you're adding students to.
-
Type in a student's name, email address, or group name from your school.
Tip:Â Separate a list of students with semicolons.
-
Confirm which students will have access to your Class Notebook.
-
Select Update.
Anyone you added will receive an email with a link to their notebook. Tell your students what to expect: the email comes from a Microsoft address and is easy to mistake for a marketing message. Ask students to check both their inbox and any school-mail clutter folder, and to open the link within a few days. Once they accept, the notebook syncs to OneNote on every device they sign in to. Each student automatically receives their personal notebook link, so they can start accessing materials right away.
