How do my students log in with their Google email?

Students can log in with Google on the CommonLit Login page if they have a Google email on their CommonLit account. Students can manually enter this email when signing up, or teachers can add or edit an existing account's email from the Manage Students page for a class.

Teachers who import students with Google Classroom will automatically create their students' accounts with their most up-to-date Google Classroom email. Click here for a handout with Google Classroom login instructions for your students.

If you import your classes from Clever, this will also enable Google Single Sign-On if students share the same emails on their Clever accounts as on their Google accounts.

Note: The Log in with Google option on the CommonLit login page is NOT a Sign Up with Google option.

If students receive a message that there is not an existing account with their email on CommonLit, it could be because:

• They signed up with a typo in their email in the past or,
• They have not signed up yet and are confusing the Log in with Google option as a Sign Up with Google option.

Once students have a Google email associated with their CommonLit account, they can log in at www.commonlit.org/en/user/login by clicking the Log in with Google option.
