Sign Out from the Classroom Website on Desktop
On a computer, the Classroom website shows a clear sign-out option in the menu bar. This method works for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and other browsers when you access classroom.google.com.
Before you start, make sure you are on the Classroom homepage or a class page. Click your profile photo or initial in the top right corner to open the user menu. The menu displays the current account email and a few action options.
Select Sign out from the bottom of the dropdown menu. Your browser will return to the Google sign-in page or home screen, and Classroom will no longer stay signed in for that profile.
Sign Out from the Android Classroom App
If you use the Classroom mobile app on an Android phone or tablet, you can sign out directly from the app without touching system settings. This is useful when you share your device with classmates or colleagues.
Opening the Profile Menu
Launch the Google Classroom app and tap the profile icon or photo, usually in the top right corner. The app shows a small card with your name and email address for the active account.
Choosing to Sign Out
Tap Sign out or Remove account, depending on the app version. Confirm the action when prompted, and the app will return to the sign-in screen for a different account or guest access.
Sign Out from the iOS Classroom App
iPhone and iPad users can sign out of the Classroom app quickly using the in-app flow. This method keeps other apps on your device unaffected and only signs you out of Classroom.
Accessing Account Options
Open the app and tap the profile icon, often located in the top right or bottom navigation area. You will see details like your photo, name, and associated school domain.
Tap Sign out to clear the local session. The app may ask you to confirm, and after that, you will need to enter a new email and password to continue using Classroom.
Troubleshooting Common Sign-Out Issues
Sometimes sign out does not work as expected due to browser settings, cached data, or multiple accounts. Identifying the specific issue helps you resolve it faster.
- Sign out loops: Clear cookies and site data for classroom.google.com in your browser settings.
- Account not listed: Check if you are using a personal Google account versus a school account managed by an admin.
- App still active: Force stop and reopen the Classroom app after signing out to refresh the session state.
- Multiple profiles: Switch to the correct profile in Google Account settings before attempting to sign out of Classroom.

FAQ
Reader questions
Why am I still signed in to Classroom after clicking Sign out on the website?
Your browser may be using cached credentials or saved session cookies. Clear site data for classroom.google.com, ensure third-party cookies are allowed, and try signing out again in an incognito window to test.
Will signing out of Classroom delete my assignments or coursework? No, signing out does not delete any class materials, grades, or submitted work. Everything remains stored in your school account and is tied to your email, not your current session. Can I sign out of Classroom on one device and stay signed in on another?
Yes, you can be signed in to Classroom on multiple devices simultaneously. Signing out from one phone or computer leaves your other devices logged in until you sign out from them as well.
How do I remove a school account from my Android Settings after signing out of the app?
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google, select the school account, and choose Remove account if you no longer need it listed in your system account list. This step is optional and separate from the in-app sign-out.
