Cross-List (combine/merge) Courses in Canvas

**It is recommended that courses are cross-listed before the start of classes (before students complete assignments). Once the course is cross-listed, you can separate the sections, but student submissions and grades would be deleted.**

First, it helps to copy the "parent" course ID. This will be the course that will end up with all the students. To find the course ID, navigate to the course page in Canvas and it will be the 5 digits at the end of the link (canvas.arcadia.edu/courses/XXXXX).

Next, navigate to the "child" course. This will be the course you are moving the students out of.
