How to Cross-List Course in Canvas


NOTE: Please cross-list before using the course(s) with students. When cross-listing, student enrollment will be moved, but no student records (grades or submissions) will transfer. 

 

1. Click Courses to pop up your course list. Select the section you would like to make the Cross-List Parent. This is the section the other sections, or Children, will be enrolled into.
