I’m getting an error that my Clever account isn’t connected to a Smart Futures account.

I'm getting a message that says “We are not able to match your Gmail address to an existing account.”


This error means we don’t have your Google email address on your account, which could be because we were given an incorrect email address, or no email address at all.

You can also reach out to your school/district IT department to make sure that we are being sent the correct email address for your account.


I don't see my school in the list of available schools. 


(for Teachers and Coordinators) Schools are only listed if they have a current subscription for Smart Futures. If your school is not listed, you can check with your district administration to see if there is a current subscription, or contact invoices@smartfutures.org to verify. 


(for Students) Ask your teacher if your school/school district has a license to use Smart Futures.
