Google Classroom and G Suite accounts

Skolar includes workflows for activating courses in Google Classroom, inviting students, and handling basic G Suite account actions for students.

What this integration allows#

From the admin side you can:

• activate a Skolar course in Google Classroom
• invite a student to a specific course
• archive Google Classroom courses for a school class
• activate G Suite accounts for students
• reset temporary passwords for G Suite accounts

Before using the integration#

Make sure:

• the school already has Google authorization and token configuration in place
• courses and students in Skolar are correct before syncing
• the academic team knows when to activate courses and when to archive them
• the right student is selected before activating or resetting an account

Recommended Google Classroom flow#

1. Review the school class and its courses in Skolar.
2. Activate the course that should be published in Google Classroom.
3. Invite the required students from the appropriate workflow.
4. Review the sync status before sharing access with teachers or students.
5. Archive Classroom courses when the class or cycle is closed.

Recommended G Suite flow#

1. Open the student profile.
2. Go to the G Suite tab.
3. Activate the account if the student does not have it ready yet.
4. Generate a temporary password reset if needed.
5. Communicate the change through your school’s internal process.

What to review when something is missing#

If the integration does not return courses or looks incomplete, check:

• whether Google authentication is still valid
• whether the course already has a Classroom mapping
• whether the student had already been invited to the same course
• whether the correct class or course was selected

Good practices#

• activate only courses that are already validated academically
• avoid creating invitations from duplicate records
• archive courses at class closeout to keep the institutional account organized
• use password reset only when necessary and document the change internally

Common issues#

Classroom is enabled for the school but courses do not appear#

This usually indicates an authentication problem or an invalid Google connection for the school.

A student invitation was triggered but does not show the expected result#

Review whether the student had already been invited, whether the course was activated first, and whether the right course was selected.

G Suite activation or password reset does not proceed#

Confirm that you are working on the right student and launching the action from the correct institutional Google tab.
