This year, every course section was given its own course in Canvas. The initial method for combining these sections into one course was time consuming and a little tricky. With Canvas’ help, we have rolled out a new and much simpler method for combining courses in Canvas into one course. To combine sections into one course (as was done in previous years), follow the steps below.


  1. In your Dashboard, you will notice each section of your classes has its own course. If you would like to combine them, they need to be “cross-listed”.
  1. Click courses on the blue global navigation bar on the left hand side.
  2. Click all courses.
  1. Click “Crosslist Courses”
  1. Click the dropdown and select a section you would like to combine with others.
  1. This should bring up a view that looks like this. Check off sections to include in the combined course.
  1. Give the course a name that does not include the period or block. Be sure to include course name and teacher’s name.
    • For example:
      • Teacher – DeLeo
      • Course – Science 8
      • School Year – 2021-2022
      • Name the course:
        • Science 8 – DeLeo – 21-22
  1. Click “Submit”
  1. In your Dashboard, you will see the combined course containing all of the sections you selected.
