(V2) ## Bring your students into a classroom by connecting the sections you teach. ### Overview Connect the sections you teach to a classroom in OnShelf, and their students are added to that classroom. You pick only your own sections, so another teacher's students never come along. You can connect sections from more than one subject to the same classroom. Connecting a section doesn't move or change any books. ### Who This Is For Teachers who want their students in a classroom they use in OnShelf. ### Prerequisites - You're signed in to OnShelf with your teacher account. - You have a classroom to connect to. No classroom yet? On **Classrooms**, click **Create Classroom** first. - Your sections come in from your school's student information system. If they haven't loaded yet, you won't see them in the list. ### Good to know before you start - **Your own sections only.** The list shows the sections where you're the teacher. - **A section lives in one classroom.** If a section is already in another classroom, connecting it here takes it out of that one. The books stay where they are. - **The window says "courses" in places.** Buttons like "Select courses to link" and "Linked Courses" list your sections. ### Steps: connect your sections 1. Go to **Classrooms**. Find your classroom's row. Under **Courses**, click the cap icon and the number next to it. ![](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Guide%20Screenshots/01-classrooms-courses-icon.png?width=600&name=01-classrooms-courses-icon.png) 2. The **Sections** window opens for that classroom. Read the note at the top: connect your own sections, and moving a section takes it out of its previous classroom. ![](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Guide%20Screenshots/02-sections-window.png?width=600&name=02-sections-window.png) 3. Under **Connect Sections**, click **Select courses to link**. Search for a section, or check each one you want in the list. The field shows how many you've picked, for example "1 course selected." ![](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Guide%20Screenshots/03-pick-your-section.png?width=600&name=03-pick-your-section.png) 4. Click **Connect**. You'll see "Courses linked to classroom," and your sections show under **Linked Courses**. ![](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Guide%20Screenshots/04-section-connected.png?width=600&name=04-section-connected.png) 5. Close the window. Your classroom's row now shows the student count and the number of connected sections. Refresh the page if the numbers haven't changed yet. ![](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Guide%20Screenshots/05-classroom-row-students.png?width=600&name=05-classroom-row-students.png) ### Remove a section In the Sections window, click the red **X** next to the section under **Linked Courses**. It's removed right away, with no extra confirmation step. Its students leave the classroom, and the classroom keeps its books. ### Troubleshooting - **I don't see my sections in the list.** Ask your librarian or district administrator. They can check how your classes come in to OnShelf. - **It says all available courses are already linked.** Every section you teach is already connected to this classroom. - **A section I connected left another classroom.** That's expected. A section can be in only one classroom at a time. Connect it back to the classroom you want. Need a hand?
