To archive a class in Google Classroom, follow these steps:
- Access Google Classroom:
Open Google Classroom on your web browser by going to classroom.google.com or open the Google Classroom app on your mobile device. Sign in with your Google account if needed
- Locate the Class to Archive:
On the homepage, find the class card you want to archive. Each class is displayed as a card in your active classes list
- Open More Options:
Click or tap the three vertical dots (More options) on the class card. This is usually found in the upper-right corner of the class card on desktop or bottom-right on mobile apps
- Select "Archive":
From the dropdown menu, choose the "Archive" option. A confirmation prompt will appear explaining that the class will be moved to the archived section and will no longer appear in your active classes list
- Confirm Archiving:
Click or tap "Archive" again to confirm. The class will then be archived and removed from your active classes view. All class materials remain saved in your Google Drive under a folder named "Classroom"
- Accessing Archived Classes (Optional):
To view or restore archived classes, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the top left of Google Classroom, then select "Archived classes." From there, you can restore any class if needed
Archiving a class helps declutter your Google Classroom dashboard and removes the class from students' views without deleting any content. You can also reuse assignments from archived classes in new classes if desired
. This process is similar across desktop, Android, and iOS platforms with minor interface differences
. Summary:
- Go to Google Classroom.
- Find the class card.
- Click the three dots.
- Select "Archive."
- Confirm the action.
Your class is now archived and hidden from active view but can be restored anytime
