Cross Listing for 3 or more classes

[GaryParciakEHS]

I have been able to cross-list 2 sections and classes.  But some teachers are trying to cross-list 3 or more sections or classes. Is that possible?

@GaryParciakEHS I do not believe there is a limit or if there is it is really high.  I have cross-listed some lab sections and it was 20 different labs.  I also manage a course that has several hundred sections (each student has their own based on enroll dates) which essentially is several hundred cross-lists.

Hope this helps!

Hi @GaryParciakEHS 

Yes, we do crosslist multiple courses into one for some teaching courses. Apart from a large group of students when view in "People", there is no other problem so far. We do advise teaching staff to identify their assignment by given a proper title and make sure each assign to the right section. This way it's easier when manage Grades and Assignments.

Hope this helps.

Good morning, @GaryParciakEHS ...

In addition to the responses you received from @nwilson7 and @Sandie, I wanted to share the process to do this...which you may have already figured out...but sharing here for others just in case they see this thread.  These are the steps I would take as a Canvas administrator to cross-list multiple courses together.

Let's say that you have three courses (A, B, and C), and you want to cross-list all three courses together so that enrollments all flow into course A.  To do this:

1. Log in to Course B.
2. Follow the steps listed in How do I cross-list a section in a course as an ad... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).  When you get to the part for "Search for Course", you will enter in your course name or course number for Course A.  Then, complete the rest of the steps outlined in this Guide.
3. Log in to Course C.
4. Repeat step #2.
5. Log in to Course A, and go to your "People" page.  You should see all instructors and students from Courses B and C listed there along with everyone from Course A.  (You can also see this in Course A by going to "Settings" >> "Sections", and then clicking on the name of an individual section of the course.)

Hope this will help a bit.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
