How do I cross-list course sections?

In Canvas, combining sections of a course is called “Cross-listing.” This is straightforward for faculty members to do themselves following this help guide. A few basic tips:

  • Cross-list when both sections are unpublished.
  • Begin the process in the “child” site (the site you want to combine into the other site), and cross-list into the “parent” site. 
  • At the end of the process, the “parent” site will remain, and the “child” site(s) will have been merged with the “parent” site and will have disappeared from your Canvas dashboard. 
  • If you want to de-cross-list a section but cannot see the “De-cross-list this Section” button as shown in the help guide, please contact Learning Innovation & Lifetime Education.
