Class settings - GradingPal Help

Open the class and select Settings. The rail lists General, Standards, Co-teachers, Integrations for classes linked to Google Classroom, and Danger zone for the owner. General saves with a Save changes button; the others save as you go.

General

Setting	What it does
Class name	Shown on your dashboard and to students
Subject	Required. Used to match rubrics and standards. Don’t include “AP” in the subject for an AP class
Grade level	Required. Helps match standards suggestions when tagging
Time zone	Used to interpret every assignment due date and deadline in this class. This is the only time zone setting in GradingPal
Class color	The accent on class cards, the class header and your dashboard
Join code	Read-only, with Copy and Invite link. Students use it to enrol without a Google Classroom link

Standards

With no sets chosen: No standards chosen yet and a Choose standard sets button that opens the Standards tab. With sets: each framework and how many standards it holds, whether mastery tracking is on, and Open Standards tab. Set up standards for a class covers the tab.

Co-teachers

The owner and co-teachers, Invite co-teacher, and for Classroom classes Sync from Google Classroom. Invite a co-teacher.

Integrations

Shown only for a class linked to Google Classroom.

Setting	What it does
Google Classroom with a Connected chip	Read-only. Submissions arrive automatically; roster changes need Sync from Google Classroom on the Students tab
Allow manual student enrollment	Off by default on an imported class. Turn it on to add students by hand; the warning explains that manually added students’ work won’t sync from Classroom

There is no class-level auto-sync toggle. Whether an assignment syncs follows the assignment’s own collection mode.

Danger zone

Row	What it does
Delete this class	Removes the class and all its assignments, submissions and grades from your account. There is no undo in the app. A class imported from Google Classroom stops syncing; the course can be imported again later

There is no archive and no leave-class action. A co-teacher who should no longer have access is removed by the owner under Co-teachers.

What this does not mean

Changing the time zone doesn’t move due dates. It changes how the dates you typed are read.
The join code isn’t per assignment. Resetting it from the Students tab invalidates every link that carried it.
