If you teach multiple sections identical in content, you may consider cross-listing them for easier course administration. \u00a0With a cross-listed course, you can release your assignments or quizzes to different sections at different times, or look at student grades in the grade book section by section, while uploading\/updating your content only once.<\/p>\n

If you need to cross-list courses, you might want to do this early in the semester. \u00a0It is generally not a good idea to keep two courses running and crosslist them mid-semester as crosslisting will get rid of the work in the course that is being crosslisted.<\/p>\n

Please also note that there is going to be some “lag” time between your action in MyACU and results in Canvas. \u00a0Your requests may not have results until a 2-4 hours later.\u00a0Here is how to cross-list your courses:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Go to MyACU<\/a>;<\/p>\n

2. Find the course you intend to use as the “parent” course; (Note: A parent course is one that you would like to cross-list the other course or courses into. )<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

3. Click on the course tool shaped like a wrench;<\/p>\n

4. Click on the \u201ccross-list\u201d tab;<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

5. Find the “child” course you would like to cross-list into the target course, and click on \u201cadd\u201d. \u00a0If you do not see the “add” tab, you may have created a Canvas course and\/or some other tools (such as calendar and blog) for the course. \u00a0All of these tools have to be deleted before it is possible to cross-list the course into another one. If you are not sure, make a copy of the child course just in case. You do this by going to its settings, and then click on “export course content” to generate a compressed copy of the course, which then you can download to your computer.<\/p>\n

6. Request a Canvas course for the parent course.<\/p>\n

7. After a Canvas course is created, you might want to go to the course settings and change the name to reflect that it is a cross-listed course, for instance, by changing “01” to “01 & 02”.<\/p>\n

If you found that you cross-listed the wrong courses, go back to step 4, find the “parent” course, remove the “child” course. After that is completed, cross-list the right course into it.<\/p>\n
