Students can be added to the LeaderU platform in a few different ways, depending on the purchase method:
- Institutional Purchase: The college or university purchases a set number of student seats.
- Student Purchase: Students purchase a 12-month subscription from the LeaderU Store or their college or university bookstore.
- Full Site License: The college or university covers the cost for every student at the institution.
| Method | Institutional Purchase | Student Purchase | Full Site License |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section Access Code | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Bookstore Access Code | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Direct Purchase from the LeaderU Store | ✅ | ||
| Individual Create | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Bulk Upload | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Canvas LTI | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Recommended Method: Create a Section First
We recommend always creating a section before adding any students. Once you create a section, you can easily invite students to the platform with a section access code. Students who are required to purchase a subscription can then redeem a bookstore access code or purchase from the LeaderU Store.
Note: If your campus uses Canvas LMS, see our Canvas LMS LTI setup documentation. The Canvas LTI automatically generates sections for you and auto-provisions students.
The information below is for colleges and universities on the Institutional Purchase or Full Site License model.
