Adding or Changing a Cross-Listing

Cross-listings are entered in the Course Catalog as a second offering of a course in the home department. The home department maintains the cross-listing, along with all the other information about the primary offering. If a cross-listing needs to be added, changed, or deleted, the home department is responsible for making those changes.

Changes to cross-listings (including deletions) must be approved by the Dean of the College.

Note: If there are two offerings-the regular course and the cross-listing-both offerings must be approved. If the second offering is not approved, you will not be able to make any changes to either offering.
