This job aid will guide faculty through the process of Cross-Listing Canvas course sites. Cross-listing allows instructors to merge their sections into one course, thus only needing to post content, assignments and quizzes once. Faculty must be listed as the instructor for that course prior to completing these steps. 

It is highly recommended that cross-listing be completed before adding or grading any content in the sections. 

If you wish to de-cross-list your courses, please contact LDC Support at ldcsupport@sandiego.edu
