Teachers will soon be able to create a new class in Google Classroom using Student Information System (SIS) data

What’s changing

We recently introduced the ability to import data, such as student rosters, co-teachers and grading categories, from your Student Information System (SIS) to Google Classroom.

In the coming weeks, we will be introducing a new feature that allows teachers to set up a Google Classroom class using information directly imported from an SIS, including co-teachers, student rosters and class lists, grading categories and grading periods. Please note this feature is only available with our current SIS partners.

In preparation for the “full class” import feature, we advise admins to connect Classroom to their Student Information System (SIS) as soon as possible. Once the admin establishes a connection between their district SIS and Google Classroom, teachers will be able to use the connection to import data from their SIS to set up new classes or update existing classes when the feature launches later this quarter.

Getting started

Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about connecting your Classroom to your SIS. End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about using Classroom with your SIS and importing data from your SIS.

Rollout pace

Full class import will be available in the coming weeks. We will provide an update on the Workspace Updates Blog when this feature becomes generally available.
