# Set up a Google Classroom student

> Sign in to Type the Word as a student and verify access to a Google Classroom course.

## Prerequisites

* Your teacher has verified the class in Type the Word.
* Your school Google account is enrolled in the correct Google Classroom course.
* You know which school Google account your teacher expects you to use.

## Sign in as a student

Go to the [Type the Word login
page](https://www.typetheword.com/auth/login?callbackUrl=%2Fhome). Under **"Get
started as…"**, choose **"Student"**.

</Frame>

On **"Student login"**, select **"Continue with Google"**. Choose the school
Google account enrolled in your class, then review and approve the requested
Classroom permissions.

</Frame>

<Note>
  Always use the rostered school account. Type the Word does not match
  students to classes by a similar name or email address.
</Note>

## Verify access

Confirm you reach **"Home"** without an access or role error. Check that the
account name in the upper-right is yours.

</Frame>

If you see **"You don't have any upcoming assignments"**, that is normal until a
teacher creates one. See [When you have no
assignments](/students/when-you-have-no-assignments) for what to do in the meantime.

## Setup complete

Student onboarding is complete when the student can sign in with the correct school account and reach **"Home"** without an access or role error.

## Troubleshooting

* **No assignments appear:** This is normal until a teacher creates an assignment. See [When you have no assignments](/students/when-you-have-no-assignments). If an expected assignment is missing, confirm the same Google account is enrolled in the teacher's Classroom course.
* **Wrong role message:** Start over and choose **"Student"** before continuing with Google.
* **Google blocks access:** Ask your teacher or Workspace administrator to verify Type the Word is approved for students.
* **Shared device shows another student:** Sign out of Type the Word before starting the next student's login.

## What's next

[Find your assignments](/students/find-assignments) on **"Home"**, or [keep
practicing](/students/when-you-have-no-assignments) until a teacher creates one.
