Pairing codes can be generated by a student or on behalf of a student by another user with the appropriate permission. Once generated, the pairing code can only be used to link the student who created the code or had the code created on their behalf. Additional pairing codes must be created for each student that will be linked to an observer. Pairing codes are only available to users at institutions that have enabled self registration. If your institution has not enabled self registration and you need assistance linking an observer to a student, reach out to your institution for assistance.

Pairing codes expire after seven days or their first successful use.

A student can have five active pairing codes at one time. If a student has five active pairing codes and a new pairing code is generated, the oldest pairing code will become inactive.

If self registration is enabled at the institution, students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings. Students can have up to five active pairing codes at one time

No. Students can only generate pairing codes from a web browser.

Students cannot use the pairing code to link to an observer from their own University of the States account. They must give the pairing code to the University of the States observer who will link to their account. An observer may be a parent, guardian, mentor, counselor, or another individual who needs to view the student’s University of the States courses.
