What is a Canvas Course Site Merge?

Updated on

When you merge sections in Canvas, you are simply taking the students in one section and moving them into the main section. The same applies when you are merging courses. Within Canvas, the process is called “cross-listing”.

If a class has multiple sections with different primary instructors, and the instructors wish to only use a single Canvas course for all of those sections, a Canvas site for each section will need to be created in order to merge the secondary sections into the primary section. If you would like your courses merged, don't hesitate to get in touch with [email protected].

Benefits of Merging Canvas Sites/ Sections

  • Instructors only have to input content once.
  • Instructors can filter individual sections that are properly named in the Gradebook.
  • Instructors can add separate content for sections in Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes.
