Why can’t I copy a class?

If you are experiencing problems in copying a class, you can do two different things: check your Internet or check for restrictions. Sometimes, Internet problems are the common cause why some functions in the Google Classroom aren’t working. Also, there might be restrictions from the administrator. Ask for access first and try to copy the class again.

What happens when I copy a class?

When you copy a class, you also copy everything that’s included in there—documents, screenshots, videos, etc. You will have to clean up duplicates of your files if you want an organized slate of files in your copied class card.

I don’t want to copy a class from Google Classroom but I want to save time in reposting materials.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of cleaning up duplicates, your only option is to create a new class and manually copy materials that will be of use to you and your class.
