Can I move a student from one class to another?
Can I move a student from one class to another?

Teachers can move students between manually created, Google Classroom-linked, or Clever-linked classes.

Updated over a week ago

The process of moving a student depends on how the student was rostered in their current class and who owns the classes between which the student is being moved.

Tip 💡: When students are moved between classes, all activities that have been completed or are in progress by those students will be transferred from their old class to their new class. Any activities that have not yet been started will not be transferred. Furthermore, the activities that are assigned to all students in the new class will be automatically assigned to the student.
