If you find yourself posting the same materials to different sections of the same course during a semester, you can request that your course sections be combined into a single Brightspace course site.

Courses that are cross-listed in the registration system (Banner) are automatically merged in the system. These cross-listed courses are coordinated between the department and the Registrar’s Office. You do not need to request a merger.

The IT Knowledge Base article Merged and Cross-Listed Rosters in Brightspace provides information on this functionality and how it works. For cross-listed courses and merged courses, the lowest CRN is the parent course. The parent course is the course you should develop content for and make active when ready. While waiting for a merger, you can begin developing immediately in the parent (lowest CRN) course.
