Classes Tab

• Select the students you want to include in the class.

View Archived Classes

Archived classes are stored here so you can restore them to your Classes page when you need to review prior work.

Scroll down to the Archived Classes to open your list of past or inactive classes.

Each class includes a Trashcan icon if you want to permanently delete it.

To see older assignments or student work after reactivating a class, adjust your date filters to include the timeframe when that class was active.

Archiving keeps your Classes page organized while preserving access to previous semesters.

Students Tab

The Students tab shows every student associated with your account in one centralized view, including students enrolled in classes, students who have submitted work without being enrolled, and archived students.

This tab is designed to help you quickly manage enrollment, clean up duplicates, and keep your student list organized across terms.

Understanding the Students List

The Students table is divided into three sections:

Enrolled Students

Students who are currently enrolled in at least one class you created manually or imported from Google Classroom.

Other Students

Students who have attempted or submitted an assignment but are not enrolled in any active class.

This commonly occurs when:

• An assignment is shared using the Name or ID sign-in option.
• A class has been archived, which removes students from the class but does not archive the students themselves.

Archived Students

Students you have intentionally archived to remove them from your active view.

Note: Archiving a class does not archive its students. Those students move to the Other Students section unless manually archived.

Student Information and Class Enrollment

Each row displays:

Student name and email address

Students may still submit work using the Name or ID option, but email addresses are shown when available.

Class columns

Each additional column represents one of your classes.

• A checkmark indicates the student is enrolled in that class.
• You can check or uncheck boxes to add or remove students from classes.

Changes made here take effect immediately and do not affect past submissions.

You can check or uncheck boxes to quickly add or remove students from multiple classes at once.

Sorting Students

You can sort students by clicking column headers:

• Click the Student column to sort names A–Z or Z–A.
• Click any class column header to group students by enrollment in that class.

Sorting applies within each section (Enrolled, Other, Archived).

Search for Students

Use the Search bar at the top to quickly find students by name or email address.

Results filter automatically as you type, allowing you to locate and edit enrollments without scrolling through the full list.

Archiving Students

Archiving helps keep your active student list clean without deleting data.

1. Click the checkbox to the left of a student’s name.
2. When only one student is selected, an Archive option appears at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click Archive.

The student is moved to the Archived Students section and removed from your active view.

Archived students:

• Are not deleted.
• Can be restored at any time.
• Retain all historical submissions and enrollments.

Restoring Archived Students

1. Scroll to the Archived Students section.
2. Select one or more students using the checkbox.
3. Click Restore at the bottom of the screen.

The restored students return to the appropriate active section.

Merging Duplicate Students

Duplicate students can occur when learners submit work using different sign-in methods, such as Name or ID versus email.

To merge students:

1. Select two or more students using the checkboxes.
2. A Merge Students option appears at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click Merge Students.

A confirmation window opens showing the selected students.

        4. Choose the student account you want to keep using the bubble selector.

        5. Review the warning message:
                •  All class enrollments from the other selected students will be merged into the chosen student.

                •  Duplicate student records will be removed.

                •  This action cannot be undone.

        6. Click the blue Merge Students button to complete the process.

All enrollments, submissions, grades, and feedback are preserved and consolidated into the selected student account.

Add a New Student

To manually add a student who is not already listed:

1. Click New Student.
2. Enter the student’s name
3. Assign the student to one or more classes by checking the appropriate class boxes.
4. Save your changes by clicking on the navy checkbox.

The student appears immediately in your Students list and enrolled classes.

Newly added students will appear immediately in your Classes.
