I cross-listed a course but want to undo. I do not see the de-cross-list button on my settings. Help?
@CarolinaBravo6 ...
Re-cross-listing a course (as @robert_hollenbe describes) will not be the solution you want. You'll need to use the de-cross-listing steps outlined in:
How do I de-cross-list a section in a course as an... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
Let's say that you have two course, A and B, that have been cross-listed together. In my example, I chose to make course A the "parent" course, and course B the "child" course...so that all enrollments from course B flow into course A after the cross-listing has been completed. When you click on your "Settings" >> "Section" tab, you should see both of those courses listed under the "Course Sections" heading. To de-cross-list those courses, you need to choose course B under the "Course Sections" heading, and you should see an option for "De-cross-List this Section". This will return things back to how they were...two separate course shells in Canvas. If you do not see this option, then you'll need to reach out to your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department to see if they can help you further.
I hope this will help a bit! Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
Try using Re-cross list, then just cross the section back to its original/home course. TBH, I have not done this through the UI. But this is how we do it in the Api and via SIS Import. So I reckon it will be the same here. If this does not work for you through the UI, then someone in your institution who has sufficient admin permissions can use SIS Import.
Hi @CarolinaBravo6 ,
The De-Cross-list feature can be disabled by your institution, so if you are not seeing it as an option, you may need to contact a Canvas administrator within your institution (as @Chris_Hofer mentioned).
We're working on improving preferred name visibility in Canvas and have been trying to explore all possibilities for showing preferred names in the roster and/ or gradebook. We understand that according to this help documentation, short name maps to Canvas display name. This documentation and this Canvas community…
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
