Issues and Solutions 

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Students Linked to Personal Google Account

 

Assignments in Canvas can't be accessed by students because they are linked to a students personal Google account.

 

 

Student Option 1:  Sign out of your personal email and sign in using your school email should work; but, if it is not, another thing to do.

Student Option 2:  Sign in with the personal email and go to http://assignments.google.com/ca Links to an external site., find the class, click the 3-dot button next to it, and select 'leave class'

If student options 1 and do don't work and the student still cannot access the activities page page, the instructor will need to help.

The instructor should:
  • Go open an assignment in Canvas using Google Assignments.
  • Click the 3-dot button in the upper right of the Google Assignments screen, and
  • Click "Manage People", scroll to the student/child and click the 3-dot button again and choose "Remove" (This will unlink the personal email from the child's Canvas account for Google Assignments,
  • The student should use their school email.
