How do I join a class as a co-teacher if it was imported from Google Classroom?

There are two ways to join a class that was already imported from Google Classroom if you are a secondary teacher.

  1. Connect your account to Google and have your co-teacher sync it. This works well if you are the primary teacher of other Google Classroom classes you need to import.
  2. Join the class as a co-teacher with the class code.

Option 1: Connect to Google

You can connect your account to Google Classroom from your My Account page.

  1. Confirm you are enrolled in the same official public or private school as your co-teacher. Go to your My Account page and click Edit for the school to make sure it is not an "other" school.
  2. Go to your My Account page.
  3. Find the "Connected to Google Classroom?" in the Account Details section
  4. Click the Connect button
  5. Log into the Google account that is associated with the classes you want to join.
  6. Grant CommonLit permission to integrate with your Google Classroom account.
  7. That's all CommonLit needs for your co-teacher to sync the class and import you! You can exit out of the process now.

Option 2: Join Class as Co-Teacher with class code

  1. Confirm you are enrolled in the same official public or private school as your co-teacher. Go to your My Account page and click Edit for the school to make sure it is not an "other" school.
  2. Ask the primary teacher for the class code for the class you would like to join.
  3. Go to your Manage Classes page.
  4. Click Join Class as Co-Teacher.
  5. Enter the Class Code and submit.
  6. The class owner will receive a notification that they need to accept (or decline) your request!
  7. CommonLit will notify you when the request is accepted or denied.
