FAQ for Student Information System (SIS) integration for admins

• A Google Workspace for Education Plus license

Starting July 9, 2024, you must have one of these licenses in order to use the grade export feature.

The connection between the SIS and Classroom is managed by a Google Workspace for Education admin. The connection can't be set up without a Google Workspace for Education account.

Your school or institution can apply for a Google Workspace for Education account.

Admins can also connect Classroom to their Student Information System and teachers can import data from their SIS into Clever-rostered classes.

The admin shouldn’t need to disable the Clever integration. The admin can still use Clever to create and roster classes.
