How to Perform a Standard Cross-listing of Your Courses

Instructors do have the ability to cross-list.

IMPORTANT: Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. DO NOT cross-list after you have published your course and students have accessed it. Course work is retained within the course, not within the sections, so if a published course is cross-listed after publishing, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.

  1. Starting with the source course (the course you are cross-listing from) go to Course Settings

  2. Click the Sections tab.

  3. Click the title of the section you want to cross-list (from).

  4. On the right-hand side, click the Cross-List this Section button.

  5. In the Search for Course field [1], enter the name/title of the destination course (the course you are cross-listing into). Or, in the Course ID field [2], enter the ID number for the course you are cross-listing into.
    NOTE: The ID number is found by going back to the destination course you are cross-listing into and getting the numbers that follow the final slash of the URL. (i.e. https://virginiacommonwealth.instructure.com/courses/416)
