Renaissance offers the ability for users to log in with Google when schools and districts request this option.
Requirements for Google Login
Note these requirements:
- Your school or district must request Google login; contact Support to make your request or reach out to your Renaissance representative. (Note that Google login is not available in some locations.)
- When you request Google login, you must specify whether you want Google login available for personnel, students, or both.
- Your users must have Google accounts.
- You must add the *.renaissance.com domain to your allowed list.
- You may also need to adjust settings in the admin console so that users under 18 can access the Renaissance login; see https://support.google.com/a/answer/13288950?hl=en&visit_id=638539001350112431-3170541739&rd=1.
- Your users must have email addresses available in Renaissance (personnel and/or students, depending on your request). There are three ways to add email addresses to your Renaissance data:
- If your subscription includes Custom Data Integration (CDI), make sure email addresses are included in the data that you provide to Renaissance.
- If you use single-school import to import your users, include email addresses in the files that you import.
- You can add email addresses for users manually when you add or edit student and personnel users.
How to Log In with Google Once the Feature Has Been Added
- On the Renaissance Welcome page, select I'm a Student or I'm a Teacher Administrator.
- On the login page, select Log in with Google under the Log In button.
- If you are already logged in to Google in the browser and your email address identifies you as a valid user, you will be logged in to Renaissance and will go to your home page. If you aren't currently logged in to Google, you will be sent to a Google login page so you can log in to that account.
If a User Isn't Found
If one of your users attempts to log in and gets a message saying the user was not found, make sure that the user is in Renaissance and that the user's email address has been added to their account.
