Cross-List Courses With Different Start Dates

Question

My faculty would like to cross-list course sections with different start dates.  For example, we offer four sections of a course this semester all with different start dates (end date is the same).  Is it possible to cross-list these sections in Canvas?

Hi @SilasHanneman

You can cross-list the sections into the same course as long as they all have the same term.  You can still set individual start and end dates on the sections by going into the section settings and adding different start and end dates, as long as you check the "Restrict students...." options in the section settings.

See this article for more information about term, course, and section dates:  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-term-dates-course-dates-and-section-dates-work-in-Canvas/ta-p/37
