Solution 2: Check for Pending Student Invitations

Once a student accepts the invitation, go to the Students tab in your GoGuardian classroom and click Sync Students From Google to update the roster.

Classroom Was Imported but No Students Are Syncing

GoGuardian classroom rosters have a limit of 115 students. If your Google Classroom has more than 115 students, the sync will fail. Reduce the class roster size or split the class into 2 smaller classes.

No Classes Show Up When Importing Google Classroom

Solution 1: If you have active Google Classroom classes but none appear when you try to import them, reconnect your Google account first. See Reconnecting your Google account below. Solution 2: If reconnecting doesn’t resolve the issue, have a Google Admin Console administrator verify that the Data Access > Classroom API setting is configured to allow users to authorize apps to access Google Classroom data.
Google administrators can find this setting by going to Apps > Additional Google Services, then selecting Classroom > Data access. You can also use this direct link to the Data Access Settings in Google Admin Console.
