Have you recently started using Chromebooks or other devices in your school with Google Apps for Education? Or, are you considering using them in the near future? As you may know, Chromebooks have become a popular solution for teachers and students due to affordability and ease of implementation. One thing you may not realize is that Chromebooks and other devices should be enrolled into your Google Apps for Education domain before you start using them.  Enrolling your Chromebook allows administrators to manage their devices and configure features through a single Admin Portal.  Follow the steps listed here, or view the Google Apps Help Center  in order to successfully enroll your Chromebooks for manageability.

How to Manually Enroll your Chromebook

It is important to note that enrollment must be done before anyone signs in to the Chrome device.  If the Chromebook has already been used, you always have the option of wiping the device in order to complete the enrollment process.

1. When you turn on your Chromebook, and the sign in screen appears, do not sign in with user credentials. Instead, press Ctrl + Alt + E on your keyboard in order to access the enrollment screen.
2.  This process will turn on Chrome Enterprise Enrollment, which will allow you to sign in and enroll your device (see image below).  You should sign in at this screen with the admin username and password provided in your Google welcome letter.
