# Classes and students

> Where classes and the people in them live: making a class, getting students onto it, co-teachers, folders and settings.

Everything about the container: the class, the people in it, and the settings that follow it around. Two things to know before anything else. The time zone is a class setting and decides how every due date in the class reads. The join code is the class's, not any assignment's.

## Still need help?

Open the **Support** tab on the edge of any GradingPal screen, or email [support@gradingpal.com](mailto:support@gradingpal.com). To get a fast answer, include:

* the class name and the assignment name
* roughly when it happened
* what you saw on screen, or the exact message

Students don't have support chat. If you're a student, ask your teacher.
