Schoology Learning

Manually associate parent and student accounts

If parents and students already have Schoology accounts within your organization, system administrators can manually associate parent and student accounts without importing a file or distributing access codes. This method is appropriate when accounts already exist and you only need to create the parent-child link.

Use this method only if both the parent and student already have existing Schoology accounts.

  • Set up and distribute Parent Access Codes if parents do not yet have accounts and you want them to self-register.

  • Import parent accounts and parent-child associations to bulk-create parent accounts and associations from a file.

  • Create parent accounts via a student information (SIS) sync if your SIS supports automatic provisioning.

  3. Select Parent for the desired student.

  4. Enter the name of the parent or guardian account in your organization to associate with the student.

  5. Click Save Changes.
