Cross-Listed Courses

  • Definition: Two or more courses of the same academic level (e.g., undergraduate with undergraduate, graduate with graduate) that share the same course content and CLOs but appear under different course IDs.

  • Syllabi Expectation: Because the courses are equivalent in level and content, faculty may use the same syllabus for each modality (e.g., main campus and online), provided that the syllabus is correctly uploaded to each course shell.

  • For example:

    • CN 103/EL 103 syllabi should include:

      1. CN 103 / EL 103 50

      2. CN 103 / EL 103 60

Parent/Child Courses

  • Definition: Courses that are paired across different academic levels (e.g., undergraduate and graduate). While they may meet together, they are distinct courses with separate course codes.

  • Syllabi Expectation: Parent/child courses must have separate syllabi uploaded. This is required because course learning outcomes (CLOs), assignments, and academic expectations differ between undergraduate and graduate students. Each syllabus should be clearly labeled and placed in the corresponding course shell folder.

  • For example:

    1. MGT 602 / MG 437 syllabi should include:

      1. MGT 602 50

      2. MG 437 50

        • Both syllabi should be placed on the Syllabus page in the LMS

      3. MGT 602 60

      4. MG 437 60

        • Both of these syllabi should be placed on the Syllabus page in the LMS

In summary:

  • Cross-listed = one syllabus per modality

  • Parent/child = two distinct syllabi, one for each level
