Cross-Listing

Cross-listing refers to the act of merging two or more course sections that share the same course content but are offered at different levels (UG/GR) or within different departments. Requests to cross-list courses for an upcoming term must be received by no later than 5 p.m. ET on the Thursday before Week Zero (i.e. Two Thursdays before the start of the term) due to issues that arise when courses are cross-listed after students begin to generate content.

Cross-listing courses produce the following results:

• Combines multiple class lists into one, allowing instructors to monitor attendance and grade students from one class list
• Combines multiple online course shells into one, allowing all students to participate in unified online discussions and assignments
• Improves utilization of instructor and physical classroom space resources

Valid cross-listed courses must:

• Have the same meeting day/time and classroom assignment
• Have the same title and course description
• Be offered with the same credit hours
• Be taught by the same instructor(s)

The cross-listing of a UG and GR course will be granted based on the following parameters:

• 300-level UG course cross-listed with a 500-level GR course
• 400-level UG course cross-listed with a 500- or 600-level GR course

When cross-listing UG and GR courses, the graduate course must include additional learner outcomes as represented by additional course work appropriate to the level of the course.

Cross-listing should not occur between courses in the following scenarios:

• Study Abroad sections and non-Study Abroad sections
• Same subject code, but different course (i.e. ABC 300 & ABC 301)

Cross-listing should also not be used to produce an alternative resolution for a billing issue.

Any requests to cross-list courses because of the reasons listed above will need to be reviewed with the Office of the University Registrar and the Office of the Provost on a case-by-case basis.
