# Create a Classroom

> How to create, import, and sync classrooms in GoGuardian Teacher, including options for Google Classroom, Clever, ClassLink, and OneRoster integrations.

GoGuardian Teacher supports 3 options for setting up classrooms: creating one directly in Teacher, importing from Google Classroom, and syncing from a third-party rostering integration.

<Note>
  The maximum number of students per GoGuardian Teacher classroom is 115.
</Note>

## Create a Classroom in Teacher

1. Go to the [Active Classrooms page](https://teacher.goguardian.com/classrooms/active) and click **Add Classroom**.

2. Enter a name for your classroom. This field is required.

3. Optionally, select a subject from the **Subject** dropdown, add a description, choose a color, and add a default filtering [Scene](/products/teacher/scenes-overview).

4. Click **Add Classroom** to confirm. A prompt to enroll students appears. You can enroll students now or close the window and add them later.

## Import Classes from Google Classroom

Google Classroom classes and their rosters can be imported directly into GoGuardian Teacher.

<Note>
  Co-teachers in Google Classroom are not automatically added as co-teachers in GoGuardian Teacher. They must be added manually after import.
</Note>

1. Go to the [Active Classrooms page](https://teacher.goguardian.com/classrooms/active) and click **Import Google Classroom**.

   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/goguardian/r1PejCysJBB6PfmM/images/screenshots/teacher/create-a-classroom/step-02.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=r1PejCysJBB6PfmM&q=85&s=022739b96eedc58ec38533300420c7fb" alt="Active Classrooms page showing Import Google Classroom button in the toolbar" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/screenshots/teacher/create-a-classroom/step-02.png" />

2. For new users, or to refresh the class list, click **Reconnect your Google Account** and sign in to your Google Classroom account.

3. On the **GoGuardian wants to access your Google Account** page, select **All**, or check each individual box, then click **Continue**. Depending on your organization's Google Workspace settings, this page may show only an **Allow** button with no individual checkboxes.

4. Choose **All** or select specific Google Classroom classes, then click **Import Classroom**.

### 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.

## Sync Classrooms from Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster

If your organization integrates GoGuardian with Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster, classes sync automatically.

Newly integrated classes appear in the [Pending](https://teacher.goguardian.com/classrooms/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.

<Note>
  **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.
</Note>

## 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.
