Connecting with Google Classroom

If you already have a class in GSE Bookshelf+, you can connect it to an existing Google Classroom.

Note: Google Classroom integration does not support Google Single Sign-On (SSO). Users should continue signing in to GSE Bookshelf+ using their existing login credentials.

1. Go to Classes.
2. Locate the class you want to connect.
3. Click Google Connect. (on the far right)
   
4. Select the Google Classroom you want to link.
   
5. Click Link.
   
   
   

Once the connection is complete, you'll see a confirmation message showing how many students were successfully connected.

Tip: If no students are connected immediately, don't worry. You can click View Roster to review the roster and complete any necessary student matching.

Once your class is linked:

• Your GSE Bookshelf+ class is connected to the selected Google Classroom.
• You can manage student connections from the Roster page.
• The Google Connect button will indicate that the class has been linked.

I don't see my Google Classroom.

• Make sure you're signed in to the correct Google account.
• Verify that you've already created your Google Classroom.
• Refresh the page and try again.

None of my students connected.

• This usually means the student accounts could not be matched automatically.
• Select View Roster to review and complete the student connections if needed.
