To cross-list (combine) an existing course in Canvas with another existing course in Canvas, do the following:

1. Navigate to the course which will act as the main course site. From the Home page of the course, navigate to the URL pane and make note of the number listed at the end of the URL after https://canvas.illinoisstate.edu/courses/##... (Figure 1):
   
   Figure 1:
   
   
2. Next, navigate to the course or section you would like to cross-list as a section to the main course, and select the Settings > Sections from the left navigation menu. Note: If you are cross-listing a course that has multiple sections in it, such as lab courses, be sure to cross-list those first. Cross-listing the main course first won't pull over the labs, so you lose access to those students/sections. (Figure 2):
   
   Figure 2:
   
   
3. Select the Section you would like to cross-list to the main course and select Cross-List this Section (Figure 3).
   
   Figure 3:
   
   
4. In the pop-up, enter the number of the main course (from step 1 above), or search for the course by name in the appropriate field provided. It is recommended that you use the course number whenever possible to ensure you are cross-listing the correct course. Click Cross-List this Section (Figure 4):
   
   Figure 4:
   
   
5. You should see a message pop-up stating that the cross-list was successful, and you will now see that the section is now cross-listed as a Course Section of the selected main course (Figures 5 and 6):
   
   Figure 5:
   
   
   Figure 6:
   
   

You have now successfully cross-listed (combined) the Canvas courses.

When cross-listing a course, you may wish to re-name the cross-listed section in order to align better with the structure of the main course.

Note: Renaming a cross-listed section only re-names the cross-listed section internally under the main course. The official name of the course as defined in Course Finder remains the same.

In order to re-name a cross-listed section:

1. Navigate to the main course and select Settings > Sections > select the cross-listed section you wish to rename (Figure 1):
   
   Figure 1:
   
   
   
   
2. Select Edit Section (Figure 2):
   
   Figure 2:
   
   
   
   
3. Enter the desired Section Name in the field provided, and click Update Section (Figure 3):
   
   Figure 3:
   
   
   
4. Your cross-listed section will now display the new Section Name (Figure 4):
