Student account settings


Create or import classes

You may manually create classes, import classes and students from Google Classroom, or import classes and students from Clever.

To manually create classes or import classes and students, please navigate to the Manage Classes page.

To learn how to import classes from Google Classroom, click here.

To learn how to import classes from Clever, click here.

Find a class code

A class code is used by students to join a class. To find a class code, please navigate to the Manage Classes page.

Then, look to the right of the Class code: copy below the class name.

If the class was imported from Google Classroom or Clever, you will see a (?) icon next to the Class code: copy and will need to hover over this icon to see the class code.

Tip πŸ’‘
Students who are joining a manually created class only need to use a class code when they initially join the class. Students imported from Google Classroom or Clever do not need a class code to join a class.


Rename a class

To rename a class, please navigate to the Manage Classes page.

Then, click on the class whose name you would like to change and click the Rename class button.

If a class is synced to Google Classroom or Clever, and you have renamed the class in Quill, you can see the name of the class in the source platform (i.e. either Google Classroom or Clever) by hovering over the Google Classroom (?) or Clever (?) copy.


Archive a class

New school year? Created a class by mistake? Classes can be archived!

To archive a Quill class, please navigate to the Active Classes page in the Manage Classes tab.

Then, click on the class that you'd like to archive and click the Archive button for that class.
