Cross-Listed Classes vs. Combined Section Only

Cross-Listed Classes• Combined at Catalog level

(share course ID #)• Share the same course title,

description, and attributes• Classes are never scheduled

independent of each other• Combined Section rolls over

each term

Combined Sections• Different courses at the catalog

level• Can have different syllabuses

and materials. (i.e., UGRD & GRAD)

• Can share the same syllabus and class materials (i.e., Topic class)

• Have to request a combined section (via form) each term

Both Cross-listed and Combined Section classes share the same instructor & the same room.

Both types are considered Combined Sections in SA.

• One “Lead” department for each combined section (includes Cross-Listed)– Communication – Main point of contact with Registrar– Final approval of combined section class

Identify a Lead Department

Cross-listed Process – Existing Classes

• Registrar’s Office will distribute an Excel spreadsheet to the Lead department for each cross-listed course in SA for the term

• The Lead department reviews and edits the report– You must highlight any changes to the

spreadsheet• Return the edited spreadsheet via RT• Registrar’s office makes the changes in SA

to the cross-listed classes on the report
