How do I add a student to a Clever Class?

What should I do if my data does not seem accurate or up-to-date?
Ensure you have added and removed all the appropriate Clever classes within the dashboard AND used the Update Roster function to refresh your data. If issues persist, double-check that the data in Clever matches what you see in Kodable. If you continue to experience problems, feel free to contact us at support@kodable.com for assistance
Please note: If you are a Clever Free Library user and are using the Co-teacher feature within your library, Clever does not support this use case. This may cause inconsistencies in how your data appears and functions within Kodable.
Why do my classes in Kodable appear differently than they do in Clever?
Classes in Kodable will appear exactly as they sync from Clever—meaning, any class names or structures set up in Clever will carry over to Kodable without any changes. However, if you’ve used Clever’s nickname feature to rename your classes within their platform, please note that Kodable cannot retrieve these nicknames.
This means that the class name in Kodable will reflect the original name set in Clever, not the custom nickname. To change the class name in Kodable, you would need to update the actual class name in Clever, rather than using the nickname feature.
Can I use Clever as a Premium Teacher?
We are unable to support Clever Free Library usage for Premium Teachers due to the restrictions Clever places on their Libraries product. However, if you are a Premium Teacher, we offer many easy ways to roster students and ensure a seamless and simple login process. Check out some helpful articles below:
If you would like to use Clever, you may also consider upgrading to Premium+ or All Access subscription, which will give you access to Clever Secure Sync. For more information or to get a quote for upgrading, feel free to reach out to support@kodable.com.
