Create a New Class

Note:

● District data administrators may restrict your ability to add/edit user and class data. If you do not have access and require support, you must contact the district data administrator team that manages rostering for your district.

● When you create or edit user and class accounts manually, the updates directly alter the rostering data stored in the centralized data store and impact all HMH Rostering Platforms.

If your district is using HMH recommended best practices of integrating to Clever, ClassLink, or a SIS, then all rostering changes should take place in the rostering system and not using the manual entry options.

To learn more, see the HMH Rostering Service Overview topic.
