To enhance the reliability of the program application process, we are shifting from apply.githubcampus.expert to GitHub Global Campus. As part of this transition, students who apply through the former website will now be redirected to Global Campus, where they can submit their application. This change ensures a smoother experience and improved accessibility for all applicants.
Introducing Learning Paths on Global Campus, your first steps to building the skills to make the most out of your time using GitHub.
Starting today students will have access to two Learning Paths on Global Campus, "Getting Started with GitHub" and "GitHub Deep Dive". The path recommended to you is based on your GitHub activity, and can be found at the top of Global Campus in the onboarding module. These Learning Paths contain Experiences that will teach you how to leverage the many tools available on GitHub.
Educators using GitHub Classroom can now optionally set a assignment deadline to be a "hard cutoff." If you use a cutoff date, students will lose write access to their assignment repositories after the cutoff date has passed.
You can grant individual students and groups extensions to allow them more time to submit an assignment.
The assignment dashboard view is now updated to better indicate whether a student has committed to their repository on-time (before the deadline), late (after the deadline), or both. You can easily filter the dashboard view on these states, and quickly click through to the latest on-time and late commits of a student's repository.
Addressing a big ask from students, they can now click a button in their assignment README to view the deadline of the assignment at any time.
Read more about creating a new assignment, extending a deadline, and students' ability to view their assignment's deadline.
We're thrilled to introduce the GitHub Classroom CLI extension for the GitHub CLI, designed to simplify the lives of teachers everywhere. With this powerful new tooling, teachers can create their own personalized workflows, as well as streamline any custom solutions they've already built.
To get started, ensure you have the GitHub CLI installed, then install the extension with the following command:
gh extension install github/gh-classroom
The GitHub Classroom CLI extension provides a suite of commands to help you navigate your classrooms and assignments with ease. Here's a quick overview of its capabilities:
gh classroom list: List all your unarchived classroomsgh classroom view: Show the details of a classroom, such as its name, description, URL, and rostergh classroom assignments: Display a list of assignments for a classroomgh classroom assignment: Show the details of an assignment, such as its title, type, deadline, starter code URL, and number of submissionsgh classroom accepted-assignments: List your students' accepted assignmentsgh classroom clone starter-repo: Clone the starter code for an assignmentgh classroom clone student-repos: Clone all your students' submissions for an assignment (a scriptable alternative to the Classroom Assistant desktop application)To target a specific classroom, use the -c flag with each subcommand (retrieve a classroom's ID through selecting it in gh classroom ls or gh classroom view). In the absence of the -c flag, an interactive picker navigable with arrow keys will help you select the target classroom.
This collections of subcommands marks the beginning of our journey to deliver power features that save you time and enhance your workflows.
You can report issues or request features on our public repository, where we look forward to open sourcing the code in the coming weeks.
Share what you build with the GitHub Classroom CLI in our Global Campus for Teachers Discussions forum!

Teachers we have heard your feedback! The GitHub Classroom team is excited to announce that now in addition to reusing a single assignment you can reuse multiple assignments across Classrooms and/or from semester-to-semester. You no longer have to manually and repeatedly create new assignments using the same template repo.
Using 'Reuse assignment' on the Classroom level you can copy single / multiple assignments and associated template repo across Classrooms and organizations. The copied assignment will include the Assignment details such as name, source repository, autograding and preferred editor.
These changes will be gradually rolling out over the next week. For more information on how to use this new experience, check out our documentation. Your feedback is welcome at our Education Community Forum.
GitHub Education now provides a safe place for students to take the first step in their open source journey with the launch of Community Exchange on GitHub Global Campus. Community Exchange offers students the ability to connect with peers to learn valuable skills to contribute to open source.
With Community Exchange, users can discover student created repositories and even submit a repository of their own. By submitting a repository a student can:
Community Exchange is available to all Global Campus students on their Global Campus dashboard. Students who haven't joined Global Campus can apply for GitHub Global Campus benefits.
To learn more about Community Exchange, check out our blog post.
Big news for computer science teachers! Today, we invite teachers to join GitHub Global Campus, the new home for all computer science teachers at GitHub! On Global Campus, teachers can access education resources and learn about new programs and events-all in one place! Teachers can also:
If you’re a teacher, you can join Global Campus by completing a short application for teacher benefits. Once accepted, you will be officially welcomed as a Global Campus teacher. Once verified, you can access Global Campus anytime at https://education.github.com.
Big news for computer science (CS) teachers. GitHub verified teachers using GitHub Classroom get access to GitHub’s groundbreaking, browser-based IDE, Codespaces. It’s a seismic shift for CS education, breaking down barriers in a fundamentally new way. Whether you’re a teacher frustrated with the complexities of managing local machine-based developer environments, tired of troubleshooting your students’ tools rather than focusing on their code, or looking to reduce technical and cost barriers for your CS Classroom, Codespaces addresses so many of the pain points in CS education with one elegant solution – integration in GitHub Classroom.
You can enable Codespaces in GitHub Classroom and then choose it as the preferred editor when creating assignments.
These changes will gradually roll out over the next week. For more information on how to use this new experience, check out our documentation and blog. Your feedback is welcome at our Education Community Forum.

You can now enable Visual Studio Code as a preferred editor for all Assignments in GitHub Classroom. To do so, select “Visual Studio Code” as a supported editor during Assignment creation. Once enabled, all accepted Assignments will include an “Open in VS Code” badge in the Assignment repository READMEs.

Get started with the Visual Studio Code integration
We've added enhanced support for CITATION.cff files to GitHub. CITATION.cff files are plain text files with human- and machine-readable citation information, and with this new feature, GitHub parses this information into convenient formats such as APA and BibTeX that can be copied by others.
Under the hood, we’re using the ruby-cff RubyGem to parse the contents of the CITATION.cff file and build a citation string that is then shown in the GitHub user interface. Special thanks to the gem creators @sdruskat @jspaaks and @hainesr who worked with us to build this.
Classroom teachers can now select a pre-written starter course and add the course to their classrooms as an assignment for students. The first starter course is a lesson on Git and GitHub.
