Before you set up your class on LitLab, take a minute to make sure you’re using the right login method for your school. This quick step helps avoid duplicate accounts or missing student connections later on.

🔐 Choose how to sign in

LitLab offers several ways to log in. Choose the one that matches how your school or district connects students:

Login Method Who Should Use It What It Does
Clever Schools using Clever SSO with Clever Library access Teachers and students log in with their Clever credentials. Teachers can roster classes only if their school or district enables access to the Clever Library. *(*📘 Learn more: Clever Setup Guide).
ClassLink Schools using ClassLink LaunchPad Teachers and students log in via ClassLink. Roster access must be approved by your IT admin before teachers can sync their classes. (📘 Learn more: ClassLink Setup Guide)
Google Sign-In Independent teachers, schools, or tutors Simple login using Google credentials. You’ll manually add students to your class.
Email Homeschool or users without SSO Enter your email → we’ll send a secure one-time “magic link” to log in (no password). Students are added manually. 🪄 If the email doesn’t arrive or expires, see Login Troubleshooting

📝 Tip

If your district uses Clever or ClassLink, always log in that way. Mixing login methods (for example, signing in once with Google and later with Clever) can create duplicate accounts or disconnect your students from your class.

💡 Need to switch your login?

If you accidentally used the wrong method:

  1. Log out of LitLab.
  2. Return to the sign-in page and choose the correct option (e.g., Sign in with Clever).
  3. If you already set up classes under another login, contact us here and include:
