Choose Who Can Join Your Classroom

Use Classroom Settings to choose how students enter your classroom and what they can do after joining.

Review student access

1. In My Dashboard, find the classroom, open More classroom actions, and choose Configure Classroom.
2. Leave Allow new student signups on if new students should be able to join with a Google or Microsoft account. Turn it off when new account sign-ins should be closed; guest access has its own setting.
3. Use Allow students to create own accounts to control whether students see that account option. Use Allow Guest Students if students should be able to join as guests.
4. Set Allow student name changes as needed, then select Update.

Turning off both new student signups and guest access prevents new students from joining. Check these choices before giving out the classroom link.

Allow students to message teacher is off by default. Turn it on only if you want private messages from students; see Classroom Messages. For other settings, see Configure or Delete a Classroom.
