How do I sign in to Classroom?

Depending on your learning setting, you can sign in to Classroom with one of the following accounts:

School account

An accredited educational institution creates this account, typically referred to as a Google Workspace for Education account. Your email address looks like "yourname@yourschool.edu."

If you don't know your Google Workspace for Education account details, ask your teacher or the school’s IT administrator.

Personal Google Account

You or your parent or guardian set up this account. You use a personal Google Account outside of a school setting, such as in a homeschool or club. Your email address looks like "you@example.com."

Google Workspace account

Your organization’s admin sets up this account. Your email address looks like "you@yourorganization.com."

Tip: Due to privacy laws, parents and guardians can't access Classroom or student assignments. They can get email summaries if the teacher allows it. For details, go to About guardian email summaries.
