How does automated rostering work for Khan Academy Districts accounts?

Updated

Khan Academy accounts who are part of a partner district in the Khan Academy Districts program have access to automated rostering via Clever and ClassLink. 

Here are some fundamental aspects of how Khan Academy Districts accounts receive roster information from Clever and ClassLink:

1. The Khan Academy system syncs with Clever and ClassLink every night.

  • Changes made to your district's Clever or ClassLink roster need to sync overnight in order to show up on Khan Academy. 
  • For more information on how to set up your roster data on Clever and ClassLink, check out these articles: Khan Academy Districts + Clever set-up guide and Khan Academy Districts + ClassLink set-up guide 

  • Khan Academy occasionally pauses rostering to honor the winter holidays and office closures. These include:

      • Thanksgiving and the last two weeks of December through early January.
      • All pauses will be proactively communicated with districts, and any roster changes made over the holiday breaks will be reflected on Khan Academy when the Khan Academy offices reopen. 
  •  

2. Once the Clever and ClassLink data syncs with Khan Academy, their classes and student rosters are created automatically. 

  • On these classes you'll see: 
    • The "District Synced" label
    • How many students in those classes have activated their Khan Academy accounts. 

 

3. Teachers cannot add or remove students from district-synced classes.

  • Only students in that class' roster on Clever or ClassLink can access that class. 

4. Teachers cannot edit district-synced students' display names on Khan Academy

5. The Google Classroom integration cannot be used on a district-synced class

6. Students cannot remove district teachers or classes from their Khan Academy accounts
