Cross-Listing is the process of consolidating multiple sections into a single course site (Parent Course Section) to deliver course content.

Important Considerations

• Cross-listing is not allowed after a course is published.
• Maintain FERPA compliance by adding a statement to the syllabus informing students their names and coursework may be visible to students in another section.

Tutorial

Perform your own Canvas Course Cross-listings. 
The Canvas Cross-listing Tool is available in the Faculty Portal located in the Instructor Information portlet. 

Preparation

Determine which of your course sections will be the parent shell. The parent shell is the Canvas course section where you will develop and deliver content for all cross-listed course sections.

2. Click the “Canvas Cross-Listing Tool” link in the “Instructor Information” portlet

4. Click “Get Canvas Sections”
5. In the Parent column, designate the parent course
6. In the Child column, designate the child course(s)
7. Click “Cross-list Sections”
8. Review your choices
