Manage Google Classroom Rosters

For classes imported from Google Classroom, Google Classroom remains the source of truth for student rosters. Make all roster changes, such as adding or removing students, in Google Classroom, not in GoGuardian Teacher. GoGuardian automatically syncs with Google Classroom every 24 hours. To sync manually, navigate to the Students tab of any Google Classroom class and click Sync Students From Google.

Trouble With Google Classroom

For issues including missing classes, missing students, or syncing problems, refer to the Troubleshooting Google Classroom article for guidance. Import Classes from Google Classroom Import Classes from Google Classroom Import Classes from Google Classroom If your organization integrates GoGuardian with Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster, classes sync automatically. Newly integrated classes appear in the Pending section of Teacher and must be accepted by the classroom owner. Co-teachers see the class appear on the Active Classrooms page once the owner accepts it. For more information, refer to the Integrations for Teacher Classrooms article.
For GoGuardian administrators: Syncing classes from Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster requires enabling the integration source in GoGuardian first. See the articles on integrating with Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster for setup instructions.

Merge Classrooms

Teachers can combine up to 5 classes into 1 merged classroom. Refer to the Merge Classrooms in GoGuardian Teacher article for more information.
