I want to connect to Clever but my students already have CommonLit accounts. What should I do?

CommonLit's integration makes it possible for you to connect your existing CommonLit account and students to Clever. When you first select “Login with Clever” on the CommonLit login page or click on the CommonLit logo from your Clever dashboard, you will be asked if you already have an existing CommonLit account. If you do, log in so that the two accounts can be linked. Alternatively, if you do not yet have a CommonLit account, you will need to create one.

Once your account is connected, you will be walked through some options to match your existing classes on CommonLit with the classes shared with CommonLit on Clever. 

If your account already has classes with students enrolled, and the students' accounts have emails that match their emails in Clever, the site will match existing student accounts and connect the students to Clever. This only works if Clever is sharing student emails with CommonLit, and those same emails already exist on student's accounts.

If students do not have emails on their accounts, you should go to your Manage Classes > Manage Students page and add emails to students' accounts before connecting to Clever to enable this automatic merging. You should also check to see if your students have emails in Clever first.
