# 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**.
2. Choose a way to sign up. Currently, there are three ways to do this:
* **Continue with Google or Facebook account** - Use your existing Google or Facebook account to sign up.
* **Continue with Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle** - Sign up using your existing LMS account. Just select the button for the LMS your school uses. To use this feature, make sure your school’s LMS is connected first. [See detailed steps here.](https://help.codechum.com/students/advanced-guide/how-to-use-codechum-with-lms/sign-up-using-lms)
* Continue with Email - Manually provide your active email address and a secure password. Make sure the email you enter is valid and accessible.
3. Select **Student** as the user type, and enter your first name and last name.
4. After clicking Sign up, you will be asked to enter and verify your email, but you also have the option to verify it later.

And with that, your **CodeChum Student account** is now ready to use! Time to join your very first class.
