# How Access Works: Integration or Self-Registration

## Use this article if you are unsure how your school’s 220 setup will work, or to learn the difference between setup via integration vs. self-registration.

Your school set up access to 220 in one of two ways. Find your setup first, because your first steps will be different.

### Option 1: Integration setup

Your school connected 220 to its existing systems through an integration, such as Edlink, Clever, ClassLink, Google, or Canvas.

With this setup:

- Your classes and students appear automatically after setup
- You do not create classes yourself
- Your first step is to add your 220 course to your class

If a class or student is missing, allow up to 48 hours for the roster to sync. If information is still missing after that, contact your school administrator or email [support@220leadership.com](mailto:support@220leadership.com).

### Option 2: Self-registration setup

Your school gave you a platform link and access information, and you set up your own account. With this setup, you create your own classes.

Complete these steps in order:

1. Create your account
2. Create your class
3. Add your 220 course to your class
4. Share the student access code so students can join
5. Confirm that your students can log in

### Not sure which setup you have?

- If your classes and students already appear when you log in, you are using integration setup
- If your class area is empty, you are using self-registration and need to create a class first

If you are still unsure, email [support@220leadership.com](mailto:support@220leadership.com).

**Quick summary:**

- Integration setup: classes and students sync automatically, and you add your 220 course to the class
- Self-registration setup: you create your account and class, then invite students with an access code
