How to archive a class in Google Classroom

K.C. Kourtz Updated by K.C. Kourtz

Archiving classes at the beginning of each school year is recommended in order to keep your Google Classroom workspace clean and minimize confusion and clutter. Please follow the steps below to archive classes.

  1. Log into Google Classroom. You can do that by visiting classroom.google.com in your Chrome browser or by clicking on the “Classroom” icon in the 9-dot (or “waffle”) icon in the top right corner of your BPS Google account:
  2. Identify any Google Classrooms that need to be archived. Click the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner of a Google Classroom that needs to be archived and select Archive from the drop-down menu that appears:
  3. This will prompt a pop-up message that reads:

    Archiving a class causes it to be archived for all participants and will unlink your SIS if your class is linked. Archived classes can't be modified by teachers or students unless they are restored. This class will move to your Archived classes. Class files will remain in Google Drive.

    If you are ready to proceed, click Archive.
  4. If you need to restore any class that you archive, mouse over to the left side of your screen and scroll all the way down. At the bottom of the left menu, you will see “Archived classes.”

If you have any questions, please reach out to the BPSTechnology Service Desk at 617-635-9200.
