Cross-listing (merging), in UM Learn, allows two or more courses (sections of student enrollments) to be brought together under one course offering page. Cross-listing of courses in UM Learn may be requested by the listed course instructor for one of the following reasons:
An instructor may be teaching multiple sections of the same course in the same semester. A single course may be offered by two or more different departments, with different course codes. A course has one or more lab sections, and the instructor wants to use a single course for the course and lab material. The course may be spanned, which means it spans two consecutive terms (e.g. fall/winter or winter/summer) and students only register for the course once.The cross-listing process deletes all existing student data including grades, assignment folder (dropbox) submissions, discussion posts, etc. Due to this, cross-listing will not be performed on courses which are currently running. Cross-listing a course requires up to five business days to process, and delays can be expected at the start of term. It is highly recommended that you make your cross-listing requests well in advance to the start of the term. The course instructor must send a request to the Service Desk servicedesk@umanitoba.ca and detail the following information:
Exact course Names (e.g., CHEM 2370 A01) Exact course CRNs (e.g., 12345.201850) Exact course Terms (e.g., Fall 2018) How to add a demo student to verify your course is working properlyInstructions can be found in Use a Demo Student.
