Course Linking Request Form
Instructors can request to link or unlink a canvas shell. Use this form if you want to link multiple class sections into one Canvas shell. That is, you add and manage course content and students from multiple sections in one place, the primary shell.
- Course Content
- Only the content in the primary shell will remain once the courses link together
- Any content that was in the non-primary shells will not move to the primary shell
- If you unlink your courses, the content will remain in the master course only. The course content from the master course will need to be copied into the sections that were unlinked. Content that was in the non-primary shells before linking will be restored.
- Student Enrollments
- Students from the linked courses will move into the primary shell
- If you are linking together different course subjects, such as for a learning community, be sure to clarify with your students that they will only access the one Canvas shell for the content of all courses
- If you unlink courses, class activities (grades, assignments, discussions, etc.) will not follow students to the unlinked course.
- Consider FERPA guidelines before requesting to link courses.
- Submit a Help Request for additional assistance.
