67
68
69 **Note:** You may see classes from other Courses on this screen. Do not pair these.
70
71 **SMART PAIRING: **You may see a **Suggest Pairings** button here instead, which can be used to **automatically pair your classes**. If you use this button, please confirm the accuracy of your class pairings and ensure you **unpair** any classes that belong to another course tile** (see step 4)**. You may then **skip to Step 7**.
72
73 **If you do not have this button**, then your district does not have a matching identifier between your McGraw Hill Classes and your Schoology Classes. Please have your district IT team contact McGraw Hill to inquire about this new feature!
74
75
76 4. Select **Pair** next to only the classes that exist in the Course tile that you launched.
77

79 Incorrect class pairings and any resulting issues are our number one support request.
80
81
82 5. In the next pop-up, you will see all of your classes within McGraw Hill. Locate the McGraw Hill class that matches with the Schoology section you chose in Step 4 and click the **Select** button.
83
84

153
154 **Important! **– If a Schoology® class section is un-linked or deleted prior to unpairing it from the McGraw Hill class, **you will not be able to fully unpair it**.
155
156 You **MUST **unpair the classes **before** deleting or unlinking the Schoology® class section. Otherwise, you will need to contact Customer Support to unpair the classes.
157
158 **This also applies to Linked classes. **You **MUST **unpair your classes within the McGraw Hill LTI® 1.3 app. First, before unlinking any classes. Failure to do so will both break the connection to Schoology® and prevent you from pairing the classes again later.
