What Is It?
Some instructors prefer to combine multiple sections of a course into a single merged Blackboard or Canvas course. This allows them to post materials only once for all enrolled students to see, rather than posting to each separate course section. The Course Merge tool is used to do this. A course merge copies the student enrollments from one or more “child” courses into a “parent” course. The Course Merge tool can be used to:
- Merge enrollments of two or more sections of the same ZagWeb course that have the same department and catalog number.
- Merge cross-listed courses that have different departments and catalog numbers.

Where Can I Get It?
To merge courses please submit a request with this service and include:
- The Parent course. The course where the content and students will be added to.
- The child course(s).
- For each course provide Course Department, Number, Section, Semester, and the Course Name
How Do I Use It?
After the courses are merged, instructors will teach through the parent course and will only need to add content to this Blackboard or Canvas site
