Use the Setup Classes and Students screen to connect your existing classes from Google Classroom or to create and manage classes directly in Classwork.com if you’re not using Google Classroom. You can also view and manage archived classes from previous terms.

Open the Setup Page

1. From the left-hand menu, click Classes.
   
2. At the top left of the page, click the ⚙️gear icon next to “Classes.”
   

A Setup Classes and Students screen appears.

It includes two tabs across the top:

• Classes
• Students

Classes Tab

Click the Classes icon to see the Classes tab.

On this tab you can:

• Import from Google Classroom
• Create a Class manually

Imported or created classes appear on your Classes page once they’re added or reactivated.

Import from Google Classroom

1. Click Sync with Google Classroom.
2. You’ll be prompted to sign in to your Google account (if you haven’t already).
3. Select the classes you’d like to import.
4. For each imported class, you can:

• Review the Class Name – pulled directly from Google Classroom.
• Edit the Description if needed.
• Choose a Color to organize your classes visually.
• Show on Classes Page – check this box to make the class visible on your main Classes page.
• View Students (#) – shows the number of students currently in the class. Click the number to see the synced list of students.
  
  

Once synced, your Google Classroom classes will automatically update when new students join or leave Google Classroom.

Note: Enrollment changes made on this screen in Classwork.com do not sync back to Google Classroom.

Create a Class Manually

If you’re not using Google Classroom, you can create classes directly in Classwork.com.

This lets you manage your own classes and enroll or modify students as needed.

1. Click Create + New Class.
   
2. Enter your Class Name and Description.
3. Choose a Color to help organize your classes visually.
4. Check Show on Classes Page if you want the class to appear on your main Classes page.
   
5. Click the Students button to add students.

• You’ll see a list of your students.
• These may include students you’ve previously entered or students who already exist in your account because they’ve submitted assignments to you in the past.
• Select the students you want to include in the class.

View Archived Classes

Archived classes are stored here so you can restore them to your Classes page when you need to review prior work.

Scroll down to the Archived Classes to open your list of past or inactive classes.

Each class includes a Trashcan icon if you want to permanently delete it.

To see older assignments or student work after reactivating a class, adjust your date filters to include the timeframe when that class was active.

Archiving keeps your Classes page organized while preserving access to previous semesters.

Students Tab

The Students tab shows all the students in your account in one place.

• The first column lists each student’s Name and Email Address.
• Each additional column represents one of your Classes.
• A check indicates whether the student is enrolled in that class.

You can check or uncheck boxes to quickly add or remove students from multiple classes at once.

This view is especially helpful for:

• Teachers with multiple preps who teach the same group of students across different classes.
• Small schools where students often appear in several of the same teacher’s courses.

Search for Students

Use the Search bar at the top to quickly find students by name or email address.

Results filter automatically as you type, allowing you to locate and edit enrollments without scrolling through the full list.

Add a New Student

Click New Student to manually add a student who isn’t already listed.

Enter the student’s First Name, Last Name, and Email Address, then assign them to one or more classes by checking the boxes next to the appropriate class names.

Newly added students will appear immediately in your Classes.
