### Limits and notes

* Only students whose email Google shares with GradingPal are imported. The rest are skipped, and the message says how many.
* Adding students by hand is off by default on an imported class. Turn on **Allow manual student enrollment** under **Settings > Integrations** if you need it.
* Keeping the list current is something you run, with **Sync from Google Classroom**. It doesn't happen on its own.

## Import

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect">
    Select **New Class** and **Import from Google Classroom**. If you haven't connected, the **Connect** step runs first. [Connect Google Classroom](/teachers/google-classroom/connect)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select courses">
    Under **Choose classes to import**, tick the courses you want, or **Select all**. Courses already in GradingPal are marked **Already imported**. Select **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure">
    Under **Set up your classes**, give each course a subject, grade levels and, if you like, standards and a time zone. Select **Import N classes**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What arrives

The class, you, any co-teachers on the course, and every student whose email Google shares. Co-teachers get access when they next sign in to GradingPal. A student Google won't share an email for is skipped: "N students couldn't be added because Google doesn't share their email with us." Add those by hand after turning on manual enrolment.

## Keep the roster current

On the class's Students tab, select **Add student** > **Sync from Google Classroom**. The toast says how many new students arrived, or **Your roster is up to date**. Students removed from the course aren't removed here; use **Remove from class** on their row.

## How to tell it worked

A toast reads **N classes imported**. The class is in your rail, its Students tab lists the students with **Synced from Google Classroom**, and **Settings > Integrations** shows **Connected**.

## If something goes wrong

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="No classes found">
    "Check you signed in with the account you teach from." Reconnect with the right Google account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Everything's already imported">
    Each course already has a class in GradingPal. Open the one you're after from the list.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Students are missing">
    Google didn't share their email. Turn on manual enrolment and add them by hand, or ask your Google admin about the class roster email setting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The sync ran through the class owner's connection">
    You're a co-teacher who hasn't connected your own Google account. It worked this time; connect your own so it keeps working.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
