Course sections are automatically combined in Canvas if they have the same:
- Course ID (BIOL201)
- Instructor of record
- Teaching modality (face-to-face, online or hybrid)
This allows faculty to populate one Canvas course with content. Canvas allows you to create differentiated assignments by section, as well as filter the gradebook by section.
If you DO NOT want your sections combined you can request they be separated. Requests must be made before any assignment submissions have been made by students. Ideally, this should happen before the quarter has begun and the course has been published. It can not be done after assignments have been submitted because submissions and grades are tied to the Canvas course.
