# Sign up as Student

### Introduction

CodeChum functions best in a classroom setting, and because of this, there are two types of users that mainly use the app: Teachers and Students. 

Just like in a classroom, students enroll in a class handled by a teacher, answer activities, and get grades a little while after. However, one good thing about CodeChum is that students don't have to wait for long before they can get the scores on their answers -- CodeChum automatically checks and grades it for them!

### Steps

To create a Student account in CodeChum, you have to go through the following steps:

1. Go to [https://app.codechum.com/ ](https://app.codechum.com/)and click **Sign Up**.
