Schools with Microsoft or Google integration

Many schools provide or integrate with Microsoft or Google accounts. Students can use these to register with Grok by clicking "Use Google" or "Use Microsoft" on the log in page, and log in with their school login information.

We recommend that you register accounts for your students. If you do not, students will have to correctly select their school before they appear on your dashboard. You can do this via via our easy registration process. This will create accounts for any students who don't yet have one. If they already have an account in our system that's not connected to your school, they won't appear on your dashboard until they next login and accept that they're enrolled in your school.

Grok Login

This is the normal email/password situation.

We recommend that you register accounts for your students. If you do not, students will have to correctly select their school before they appear on your dashboard. You can do this via our easy registration process. Your students will have accounts created for them, and an email will be sent with instructions for logging in. If they already have an account in our system that's not connected to your school, they won't appear on your dashboard until they next login and accept that they're enrolled in your school.

For your first time, direct students to their email account, open the email we've sent them and follow the instructions. If your students don't have access to an email account, see  Can students without email addresses still use Grok?

* You do not need to register accounts for your students. However, if you want to assign work to your students ahead of time, then you can choose to register your students in advance. This will ensure they appear on your teacher dashboard and can be assigned work, even if they have not logged in yet.
