# Distributing Student Accounts

In this video tutorial, we will show you how to create a Magoosh account for your students from your instructor dashboard.

## Assigning an Account

 Navigate to your instructor dashboard by clicking on the link at the top of your screen. Follow these steps to create a new student account.

- Click on *Assign student accounts.*
- Click on* Select an exam* to choose the correct product.
- Click on *Select a class section* to select a class.
- Type your students’ emails into the text box, one student email per line. Alternatively, click on *Text File Upload* and click on *Choose File* to upload an Excel file. 
    - Important note: your Excel sheet may only contain a list of your students’ emails.
- Click *Assign Student Accounts*.

Your students’ accounts will be activated immediately. They will receive two automated emails that contain:

- a login link to the platform
- their login email address
- the date their account expires
- instructions for creating a password

Navigate back to your *Class Report* to see a list of students you’ve created accounts for. Note that the student name field will only populate once the student has updated their account.
