Clever & Classlink FAQs

Updated by DaCota Cole

How do we get started with the integration?

Let us know that you're interested and we can forward your request to our Customer Support team at support@progresslearning.com so that they can walk you through setting up the integration.

How long does it take to get integrated with Clever or ClassLink?

Typically within one business day of the data being shared via Clever or ClassLink.

Do you support class rostering?

Yes, the integration will roster classes and students for teachers. All a teacher needs to do to roster the class is sign in and add subjects to the class to get started using the platform.

Does the integration support SSO (single sign-on)?

Yes, students and teachers can sign in via Clever or ClassLink.

What roles does Progress Learning support syncing via Clever/ClassLink?

Progress Learning only supports syncing student, teacher, and admin roles. District administrators will need to be created to sign in manually and not via SSO.

What field does Progress Learning use to create accounts?

Clever accounts are created in this order for teachers and admins: (If the first field isn't being shared, we will use the following fields)

  1. DistrictUsername
  2. Email
  3. StaffId
While Progress Learning supports syncing admin and teacher roles listed in Clever, no one should ever be shared as both. If a teacher has classes, they should be shared as a teacher and not as an admin. Admin permissions can be assigned in Progress Learning. If a user only needs admin access, they should only be shared as an admin and they will be given this permission by default.

Clever accounts are mapped in this order for students: (If the first field isn't being shared, we will use the following fields)

  1. DistrictUsername
  2. StudentNumber
  3. Sis_Id

ClassLink accounts are mapped in this order for students, teachers, and admins:


  1. Username (required field by ClassLink)

*Classes will be archived by Clever/ClassLink if the classes are no longer being shared with Progress Learning.
