Within Extempore, there are a few different ways student accounts are created. This primarily depends on whether the district is using Extempore with an LMS/SIS, Google Classroom integration, or if they are not using an integration with Extempore.
| Account Creation Type | Explanation |
Google Classroom | Automatic | Instructors syncs Google Classroom with Extempore, creates assignment, and students are considered enrolled in Extempore after connecting to the first assessment from Google Classroom. |
LMS/SIS Integration | Automatic | Student accounts provisioned after Extempore is synchronized with your LMS. This step is handled by District Admins and the Extempore Team. |
Non-Integrated Account | Manual | Instructors share the enrollment URL with students where students will create a new account via username and password or with Google SSO. |
Enrolling Students in Extempore
Student enrollment in Extempore depends on how your class is set up. Follow the section below that matches your setup to ensure students are enrolled correctly.
Google Classroom Integration — Enrolling Students
When using Google Classroom, student accounts are created automatically, but enrollment isn’t complete until students access their first assignment.
How it works
Sync Google Classroom with Extempore
Students will appear as Pending in the Extempore roster
Create or import the first individual assessment in Extempore
The assessment automatically syncs to Google Classroom
Students must click the first Extempore assignment from Google Classroom
Once accessed, students move from Pending → Active in Extempore
Important tips
Use an individual assignment (not a group assignment) for first-time enrollment
Simply syncing the class does not complete enrollment — students must open an assignment
LMS / SIS Integrations (Canvas, Schoology, etc.) — Enrolling Students
For LMS and SIS integrations, student accounts are fully automated and managed at the district level.
How it works
Student accounts are created automatically by the district and Extempore
Instructors do not need to manually sync or enroll students
Roster changes should be made in the LMS and communicated to district admins
New or updated rosters sync to Extempore nightly at midnight
Need it sooner?
A district admin can trigger a Full Sync via Extempore NAPI for immediate updates
Non-Integrated / Manual Setup — Enrolling Students
Use this method if your class is not connected to an LMS or SIS.
How it works
Instructors manually create or upload students in Extempore
Assign assessments to the class or individual students
Students must receive a class enrollment link to access Extempore
Common use cases
Standalone classes
Special or one-off situations
