Navigating Schoology

Notice: For each BCTC student a Parent/Guardian account in Schoology can be created for the purpose of monitoring their child’s course information. The account is automatically created for any authorized Parent/Guardian account which has a provided email address on file (the email provided during the application process). If an account was created automatically an email with the login and password information is emailed to the email address supplied on file.

If you do not receive an email with your child’s account information one of the following may be the reason:

  1. Check your email setting and spam folder to ensure your account email invite is not placed in the junk mailbox in your email client. If it is not there it could have been blocked/deleted. If this is the case using your email address as your user name click on the “forgot your password” link on the sign-in page and an email will be sent to you to sign-in.- or –

  2. If you already have a Schoology account with a different District/Institution than BCTC using the email account you supplied during the application/registration process, we are unable to auto create your account. You will need to use a different email address to create the account because Schoology doesn’t support multiple accounts using the same email address. To create an account please follow the “Sign-Up’ instructions.- or –

  3. You already have a BCTC Schoology account from a past or current student, please simply login with the past credentials.

How to Link Accounts:

What is Linking Accounts?
Since parents must have an account at each of the Schoology organizations in which their children are enrolled, you may have multiple Schoology accounts. For example, if the child is enrolled in a high school Schoology account in their sending district and BCTC, or if one child is in college and one in high school, you must have an account in each organization, and link the accounts to toggle between them.

By keeping both accounts and linking them together, you can access all content from a single location. This feature also allows each organization to manage your parent account settings appropriately, and to communicate with you separately.

Note: If you have two children who attend different schools but are in the same Schoology Enterprise account – you do not have to link accounts. However to view each you will need to log out and into each one individually.

How Do I Link Accounts?

  1. Click the arrow in the upper-right corner of the Parent account you want to keep as your primary account (you will be using this account to log in to Schoology).

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Scroll near the bottom of the Account Settings page and click Link Accounts.

  4. Enter the Email or Username of the parent account at the other organization.

  5. Enter the password for the other parent account.

  6. Click Link Account to complete.

Select a Primary email address for linked accounts
A list of your primary account and linked account(s) displays in the Link Account area upon completion. If you have multiple primary email addresses for these accounts, enable the Select a primary email address. This feature enables email notifications for each linked account to go to your primary email address.

What Do Linked Accounts Look Like?

To see your linked accounts, click the down arrow in the top-right of Schoology:

  • The organization associated with each account displays below your name. To access your linked account, click your name and select the other account.

  • Click on your child’s name to view his or her Schoology activity.
