Canvas and Multiple Section Courses
Courses with multiple sections pose a particular set of complex logistics issues. Canvas is ideally suited to organize and run multi-section courses.
Also, sometimes a large single course could be better managed by creating sections within it.
Here are some useful guides on using sections in Canvas (just follow the links).
How are Sections and Courses Related?
How do I edit a section's details?
You can easily edit details for each section in your course.
Note: You can only edit a section after you have opened the course where the section currently resides.
How do I add students to a section?
Once you have created sections in your course, you can add students to different section. You can also edit the sections students are in.
How do I view section enrollments?
You can view section enrollments within your course Settings in Canvas.
Creating and Adding Sections

How do I add a section to my course?

Cross Listing
How do I cross-list a section?
You can only cross-list a section after you have opened the course where the section currently resides.
Note: Only cross-list inactive courses. Do not cross-list active courses. If you cross-list active courses, assignment submissions and grades will be removed and may not be recoverable.
How do I de-cross-list a Section?
