Problem creating a class?
If you have a G Suite for Education account but can't add a class, the Classroom G Suite administrator might need to verify you’re a teacher. Contact your administrator for help. For instructions, administrators can go to Verify teachers and set permissions.
Note: If you have a personal Google Account, there are limits on the number of classes you can create. Learn more about Classroom limits.
