  2. To adjust the end time:
    1. Place your mouse cursor over the End time and to amend the time, click on either the hour or minute and click up or down.
    2. Alternatively, click on the time and enter the time with your keyboard.

Troubleshooting

If you can't see a student in the list that you wanted to add, first check to see if they are in Google Classroom. If they aren't, you'll need to add them and then re-sync the list.
