iClicker Student App Setup Guide

You can use your smartphone to participate in iClicker attendance, polling, quizzing, and assignment activities in class using the iClicker Student App. Please note, there is a 14-day free trial period. Afterward, you will need to pay to continue using the polling, quizzing, and assignment features in your course.  However, the Attendance Only option is free, so you will not have to pay if your class is only using iClicker for attendance. Please see iClicker's Student App Purchasing & Participation Options article for up-to-date pricing information.

Depending on whether your instructor is using iClicker Classic or iClicker Cloud, connecting your Canvas account with your iClicker Reef account may be different. Please follow the directions on downloading the app below and if you're using iClicker Cloud please view the directions on syncing your Canvas account with Reef.
