Merging Two Courses/Sections into One in Brightspace

You will be able to merge two courses/sections into one in Brightspace IF the courses have the same start & end date and all requirements are the same.

This Information is Intended for:
Instructors, Staff

To request that your course(s) be merged, you must submit a request. Before doing so, be aware that we will merge the sections listed on the ticket together. You will have a single section from which you can contact all the students in the different sections of your course.   There will only be 1 grade book for the course.

This should only be done if:

  • The instructor(s) want the students from multiple sections interacting with one another.
  • The content/topic/assignments/grading of the course will be the same for all merged classes.
  • Instructor(s) understand that, at the end of the semester, they will have to either manually enter grades in SOLAR or send a file to the Registrar's office.

Tickets will only be accepted by the instructor on file.
