How Do I Change My Class On IXL?

As an IXL user, your ability to change a class depends entirely on your account type and permissions.

Students cannot change their own classes, as this is a task reserved for teachers and administrators. For student accounts, the assigned class is managed by the educator.

How teachers can change a student's class

Teachers with a classroom or site license can easily add or move students between classes.

1. Sign in to your IXL account.
2. Click on the Roster tab at the top of the page.
3. In the Class column, find the student whose class you want to change.
4. Click the empty field or existing class name next to the student's name to see a dropdown menu of available classes.
5. Select the desired class from the list. To move a student from one class to another, simply uncheck their current class and check the new one.
6. Click Save to apply the changes.

To create a new class for your roster:

1. From the Roster tab, select Manage Classes from the filter options on the right side of the screen.
2. Click Add Class.
3. Enter the new class name and click Save.

How administrators can change a student's class

Administrators can manage student data across the entire school or district roster.

1. Sign in to your administrator account.
2. Click the Account tab, then hover over Roster and select Students.
3. Find the student you need to edit using the search bar or filters.
4. Click on the student's row and find the Class category.
5. Click the pencil icon to edit the student's information and select the new class.
6. Click Submit to save your changes.

What students need to do

If you are a student, your options are limited to informing the appropriate person about the class change.

**Inform your teacher:**If you've been placed in the wrong class, the first step is to speak with your teacher. Explain the situation and provide them with the correct class information. Your teacher can then update your roster for you.

**Contact your school administrator:**For larger institutional changes, like transferring schools, you or your parents should contact the school or district administrator. They have the permissions to move your account to a different site license entirely.

Common scenarios and solutions

Scenario: A student transfers to a new class

• Action: The new teacher will add the student to their roster. If the old teacher is part of the same site license, they can remove the student from their old roster. A teacher can add an existing student by searching for their name.

Scenario: A student moves to a new school

• Action: The administrator at the student's new school will create a new account for them or add them to the roster if they are part of a district-wide license. The student will be assigned new credentials.

Scenario: A family with a home license wants to change subjects

• Action: For accounts with parent-managed subscriptions, the change is made through the "Subscription details" page. Parents must sign in to their account, navigate to Account > Subscription details and click change next to their current subjects.

Final considerations

• Rostering Control: Some schools or districts restrict what teachers can change on their rosters. In these cases, teachers will be unable to make edits and must contact an administrator.
• Automatic Rostering: Many schools use automatic rostering services. If your school uses one, roster changes may need to be made in the school's central student information system rather than directly in IXL.
• Data Integrity: When a student is moved, their progress and analytics typically follow them, so their learning history remains intact for the new teacher to review.
