1. We're only importing your student roster from Google Classroom, not any assignment data. We also cannot send assignments from Khan Academy to your Google Classroom.  
2. You need to create the class on Khan Academy before you can connect a Google Classroom to it. You can do this from the class creation flow, or from the class settings page.  
3. If your students are under 13 years old and do not have Khan Academy accounts, they will need to sign up for one through the following options: 
   • The emailed invitation that is sent out once you sync your Google Classroom
   • Entering your class code on https://www.khanacademy.org/join    
     
   • If they try and sign up on the main https://www.khanacademy.org/signup site, they will be required to also enter their parent's email address. 
   • Students above 13 years old can use any of the above options

Here are the steps to import your Google Classroom roster to Khan Academy: 

1. On your Dashboard, click on Add class. 
   
2. Select "Import from Google Classroom" and click on "Create a classroom".

6. Optional final step: visit the "Class Settings" page of your new class and check the "Sync with Google Classroom" option. 

This is in case a new student joins your Google Classroom, they will automatically be synced to your Khan Academy roster. 

All set! You’ll notice that your newly created class in Khan Academy has adopted the classroom name from the rostered classroom. You can always later change its name from your class's settings.

How do I get my students logged in once my Google Classroom is set up? 

Students who already have a Khan Academy account:

• Will automatically be enrolled in your Khan Academy class if the email on their account matches what is on your Google Classroom Roster 

Students who do not have a Khan Academy account:

• Are marked as "Pending" on your Khan Academy roster 
  
•  Receive email invitations to join Khan Academy. 

NOTE: If your students are under 13 years old and do not have Khan Academy accounts, they will need to sign up for one through the following options: 

• The emailed invitation that is sent out once you sync your Google Classroom
• Entering your class code on https://www.khanacademy.org/join   
  
• If they try and sign up on the main https://www.khanacademy.org/signup site, they will be required to also enter their parent's email address.
