TroubleShooting: “Administrative Approval required”

If your students are seeing a page requesting ‘administrative approval’ when they try to access their assignments in Google Classroom, do not worry! This usually means that your school’s Google Workspace settings are too tight and are blocking the Rockalingua application.

To fix this, you will need to share the following instructions with your school’s IT administrator so they can allow Rockalingua access for your students.
