Connect Classroom to your SIS

This article is for administrators. Teachers, go here.

If your student information system (SIS) is currently integrated with Classroom through One Roster API, you can connect Classroom to your SIS. After you set up the connection, teachers can link their classes and export grades to SIS.

Important: SIS export is available for these partners: 

  • Infinite Campus users with the Campus Learning License
  • Skyward version 2.0 users with the LMS API license
  • Follett Aspen users of version 6.2 or above

Customer support is only available for customers using a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that your SIS provider fully hosts and manages.

Learn more about SIS grade export availability. Other SIS partnerships are in development.

To connect, you need this information from your SIS partner: 

  • Host URL
  • Access key
  • Secret code

Important: If you submit the form, this does not guarantee participation or integration.

Check SaaS eligibility

SIS grade export is available for the described SIS-providers, but it’s supported for customers who use a SaaS solution that is fully hosted and managed by their SIS provider. For other deployment configurations, our service is best-effort based on the documentation we provide in our Help Center. 

You can check if your SIS is supported. Find out if your SIS deployment is managed by the SIS provider and located in the SIS-provider’s own cloud environment. 

If you’re unsure:

  • Teachers: Reach out to your administrator.
  • Administrators: Reach out to your SIS support.
