Fix a problem while using Classroom (for students)

• School account—Also known as a Google Workspace for Education account, this account is set up by an accredited school. It looks like "yourname@yourschool.edu."
• Personal Google Account—This is set up by you, or your parent or guardian. Typically, you use a personal Google Account outside of a school setting, such as a homeschool. It looks like you@example.com.
• Google Workspace account—This is set up by your organization’s administrator. It looks like "you@yourcompany.com."

• You must have an active Internet connection to sign in to your account.
• If you can’t sign in with the correct email account and password, maybe your school’s administrator doesn’t automatically activate Classroom for new students and users. For more assistance, contact your teacher.

• If your school uses Google Workspace for Education—Ask your teacher to contact the admin to reset your password.
• If you’re a student using a personal Google Account outside of a school, learn how to change or reset your password.

If the class code doesn’t work, check that:

• You’re signed in to Classroom with the correct account. Learn how to sign in to Classroom.
• The code you enter is 6 to 8 characters long, and uses letters and numbers. Codes can’t have spaces or use special characters.
  • Example:
    • 
    • This is an example. Do not use this code.
• You enter the code correctly. This includes any capital letters or special characters.
  • If you’re sure that you enter the code correctly, contact your teacher as there might be a technical issue.

If you still have trouble, let your teacher know.

Tip: You only use the class code once to enroll. After you join, you don’t need to use the code again.

• Contact your teacher: The easiest way to get your class code is to ask your teacher directly.
• Check your email: Your teacher can send the class code in an email. Check your inbox and spam folder.

• If your school uses Google Workspace for Education: Students can’t create classes.
• If you’re a student with a personal Google Account outside of a school: Learn how to create a class.

• If your school uses Google Workspace for Education – your school's admin might have turned off Gmail for students. Ask your teacher to contact the admin.
• If you're a student using a personal Google Account outside a school – go to Gmail Help.

If you get an error message when you click Turn in, let your teacher know.

If you can’t turn in an attachment assigned to you, try these steps:

1. To save any work you did in the attachment, copy and paste your work into a blank document.
2. In the Classroom assignment, on the attachment, click Remove Make a copy.
3. Click the new attachment.
4. Paste any saved work into the new file.
5. Click Turn in.

• If you don’t get an attachment that your teacher assigned, let your teacher know.
• For information about attachments assigned to you, go to turn in an assignment.

• Open the Classwork folder, upload your file to the Class Drive, then share your file with the class group.
• Upload the same file again as a separate copy, then attach the file to the class.
