Stop jumping between Canvas course shells. Cross-listing allows you to merge multiple sections into a single Canvas course, letting you manage content, assignments, and grades in one central location.
Consistency is Key: To ensure grading accuracy, only cross-list sections of the exact same course.
Do: Cross-list three sections of Biology CP.
Don't: Mix different subjects (Biology & Chemistry) or different levels (Geometry & Honors Geometry).
Important Timing: To protect student data, cross-listing must be completed before students submit any work. This course is only open during the "Setup Windows" in August and January.
