Integrate an Existing WebAssign Course With Google Classroom

If you already created the WebAssign course you want to integrate with Google Classroom — and no students are enrolled — integrate your existing course.

Note Course templates, courses with student enrollments, and courses that are already linked to an LMS can't be linked.

Note

This task is different depending on if your school uses the paid or free version of Google Classroom.

To see which version your school uses, open the assignment editor and look for the Add-ons panel.

If your assignment has Add-ons, your school uses the paid version.
If your assignment does not have Add-ons, your school uses the free version.

  Note Selecting a group of activities does not select all activities in the group. You must select each activity individually.

  To remove an activity from the gradebook, clear Add to Gradebook.
