Canvas Cross-List Sections

Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. Coursework is retained with the course, not with the section enrollments, so if a published course is cross-listed, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.

1. Login to the UTHealth LMS Tool Box (external link)
2. Go to General Utilities menu, select Cross-list Sections from the dropdown menu.
   NOTE: You may need to scroll your window down a bit, sometimes the menu is cut off.

Cross-list Sections

3. Main Course ID: Type in the name of the course where you want the cross-listed sections to be.
4. Section IDs: Type in the name(s) of the course(s) that should be joined to the main section.

5. Click the button to add the sections to the main course.
