After schools are added and users, courses, and groups are associated with those schools, school affiliations affect how information is displayed and managed throughout Schoology.

Area |
Effect of school affiliations |
|---|---|
|
User profiles |
Organization-level users have the organization name displayed on their profile. School-level users have both the school name and organization name displayed on their profile. |
|
Parent accounts |
Parent accounts are automatically associated with the same school as their child. If a parent has children at multiple schools within the same organization, the parent account remains associated with the school of the first child linked to the account. |
|
Courses |
Courses and sections should be associated with the appropriate school. Instructors can teach courses across multiple schools, but their user account remains associated with a single school. |
|
Recent Activity |
Instructors who teach courses at multiple schools receive activity from their associated school and their courses in the Recent Activity feed. |
|
Course lists |
When users administer courses across multiple schools, the school associated with each course displays in the Courses menu. |
|
Groups |
Groups can be associated with specific schools and can use organization-level or school-level privacy settings. |
Parent accounts across organizations
If a parent has children in different organizations, the parent must create separate parent accounts for each organization and link those accounts together.
For example, a parent who has children in two districts that use separate Schoology accounts must maintain a parent account for each organization.
