  6. Follow the remaining steps if you use Google SSO.

    If you use Google SSO to sign in to Schoology, do not tap Sign in with my account; this takes you to a Schoology email and password sign in page instead of the Google sign in screen. Users who are not part of the organization's SSO can choose this option instead.
  7. If this is your first time signing in, enter the email address connected to your Schoology account. If you’ve previously signed in on the device, tap the name of the auto-populated account that you use to sign in to Schoology.

    If you select the wrong account in this window, you will have to close the Schoology app and log out of the incorrect Google account from the internet browser on your mobile device before you can complete the sign in process.

  8. Enter your password and tap Next. This will log you into both your Google account and into Schoology. If you sign in using an SSO and are using a shared device, be sure to log out of your account on the mobile browser when you log out of Schoology. For example, if you use a Google SSO, navigate to Google on a mobile browser and log out of your Google account. Logging out of Schoology will not log you out of your Google account.
  9. Tap Approve to authorize the Schoology mobile app to access your Schoology account. Click Deny if you do not want to authorize the app. You will not be able to use the mobile app until you have approved the app to access your account.

If you sign in using an SSO and are using a shared device, be sure to log out of your account on the mobile browser when you log out of Schoology. For example, if you use a Google SSO, navigate to Google on a mobile browser and log out of your Google account. Logging out of Schoology will not log you out of your Google account.

Tap the arrow to continue to sign in through your saved school. To change the school or organization to sign into, tap the search field, and begin typing the new name. Matching choices will populate as you type.
