You can transfer ownership of a class to a co-teacher to make them the primary teacher.
- Until the co-teacher accepts the transfer, you still own the class.
- After the transfer, you become a co-teacher of the class.
- Only the primary teacher can delete the class.
Note: If your primary teacher account is deleted before you transfer ownership of your classes, some class features won’t work.
Who can you transfer ownership to?
- If you use Classroom with a Google Workspace or Google Workspace for Education account—You can only transfer ownership to a co-teacher in your domain.
- If you use Classroom with a personal Google Account—You can only transfer ownership to a co-teacher who uses Classroom with a personal Google Account.
Who owns class materials after a transfer?
After you transfer class ownership, the new primary teacher owns:
- The class Google Drive folder
- Materials in the class templates folder
- Turned-in student work
Who owns deleted materials?
If you have a Google Workspace for Education account and you deleted files before the ownership transfer, you remain the owner of the deleted files. Learn more about making someone else the owner of your files.
