FAQ for Student Information System (SIS) integration for teachers

This article is for teachers.

To use the SIS integration features, all teachers must have one of the following:

  • A Google Workspace for Education Plus license
  • A G Suite Enterprise for Education license
  • A Teaching and Learning Upgrade license

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

Important: SIS integration is available with numerous partners. Other SIS partnerships are in development. Learn about SIS integration partnership status.

Here are some common questions about SIS integration features.

General SIS troubleshooting

What if a student in my class isn’t found in my SIS?
A student needs to have the same email address in Classroom and your SIS. If you’re not sure how to check this, ask your Google Workspace for Education administrator.
What if I can’t link my Classroom class to the SIS?
  • Check that the primary teacher’s email address in the SIS is correct. The email address should match the Google Workspace for Education email address for Classroom.
  • Make sure you’re listed as the primary teacher for the class in your SIS. Only the primary teacher in the SIS can link a Classroom class.
  • Confirm that your admin connected Classroom to your SIS.

Tip: If you have SIS options on your Classroom Settings page, your admin sets up the connection.
