I manage Canvas for a technical college using the following parameters:
- We offer rolling admissions.
- We fall under the umbrella of the K-12 districts calendar.
- We have 3 terms a year.
- At any given time, a course can be taught in all 3 terms depending on the start date.
Our mainframe needs to assign the course 3 sequence numbers. Canvas views a sequence number as a course, so it assigns a new container. So, 1 class offered can potentially be assigned 3 different Canvas SIS ID's/Containers.
I know I can manually cross-list to combine, but is there a better way other than this? The LMS is new to the site, so I am already getting pushback from faculty on using it. I want to streamline this prior to August.

Hi @chefpartz
In the situation you describe, I think that I would configure your integration to create each of the sequence numbers as a new section within the course, not as a whole new course. That is essentially what happens when you are cross-listing, which is moving the section from one course (shell) to another.
