| 13 | +# Quickstart: Set up a course and create a classroom |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +This quickstart explains how to set up a lab in the Microsoft Azure Education Hub, including subscription details. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Prerequisites |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- An academic grant with an approved credit amount |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Subscriptions |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Each student is given a subscription tied to a monetary cap of credit allocated by the professor. The term *monetary cap* describes the US$ amount of an academic sponsorship. For example, a $1,000 monetary cap provides the recipient with a USD$1,000 Azure credit using [published WebDirect rates](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +The educator can choose to allocate a cap to the subscriptions to prevent |
| 26 | +unintended use, and then set an expiration date. For example: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- **Flat amount per class**: Each student gets $*x* to manage for the entire quarter or |
| 29 | +semester. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +At the subscription level, you can increase or decrease the cap and changes will take effect with |
| 32 | +minimal latency. When the class or project ends, you can reallocate unused cap to other subscriptions prior to the expiration date. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Create a lab |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Follow these steps to create a lab by using one of two different methods: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +1. Select the **Labs** page in the Azure Education Hub to open the tool you use to create and manage courses. A table opens showing all your existing labs. |

| 41 | + |
| 42 | +1. Select the **+ Add** icon in the upper-left corner of the table to start the creation |
| 43 | +workflow. |
| 44 | + |

| 46 | + |
| 47 | +1. You can create a course roster by using two methods: by uploading a roster, or by using an invitation code. |
| 48 | + - **Roster**: If you already have the names and logins of all students, you can populate and upload a roster file. To download a sample file of the .csv file needed to upload the roster, select the **Download sample file** link in the upper-right corner. |
| 49 | + - **Invitation code**: If you choose to use an invitation code, decide how many codes can be redeemed and when they will expire. You'll send your students the following link to redeem the code: https://aka.ms/JoinEduLab. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + :::image type="content" source="media/set-up-lab/create-a-lab.png" alt-text="Enter your invitation code in Azure Education Hub" border="false"::: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +1. Select **Create** in the bottom-right corner. This might take a few |
| 54 | +moments to complete. |
| 55 | + |
