Log In to Ed

 

SSO allows you the convenience of logging in once to access all of your organization's platforms. The steps to log in to Ed vary by organization and by SSO provider.

Typically, your district administrator provides you with instructions on how to launch using SSO. Those instructions may consist of a Google icon, ClassLink or Clever portals, or a network login, such as ADFS or Azure.

For most SSO setups, if you try to access the standard Ed Sign In page, you are redirected to your SSO page to authenticate. To learn more on this, see below.
