Course Combine

Teaching two sections of the same course but only want to post content once?

→ ANSWER: Make a combined course!

 

Graphic depicting two course sections being combined into one combined section. Two courses, CAS 1003-001 also called Section 1 and CAS 1003-002 also called Section 2 have been combined into CAS 1003-001 slash 002

Use the cross-listing feature in Canvas BEFORE the course start date to make managing two sections of the same course easier. NOTE: Once students begin submitting assignments (quizzes, uploads, discussions) to the courses, they cannot be combined.

We recommend combining courses BEFORE adding course material and before publishing the cross-listed Canvas course.
