Report showing number of Courses with Cross-listed sections?

[LindaWilin1]

Hello Friends, 

Sounds like a simple request...  How many Fall 2024 courses have cross-listed sections?

By referencing the https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/all_resources.html list, I thought the sections table could provide the raw data.  Before writing my own script, I used the provisioning report included in the Admin Reports and choose the section and Fall parameters, but that data only showed 4 cross listed sections which doesn't seem accurate at all.   Has anyone already sorted out how to find how many courses have cross listed sections for a term?

Greatly appreciated.

Hi @LindaWilin1,

This is going to somewhat depend on how your courses are created (especially if you're using an SIS integration) and what you'd consider a crosslisted course vs what Canvas would consider one.  Canvas does have its crosslist function, and that's what you'd see with something like the provisioning report.  Your SIS integration may utilize the Canvas crosslist function, but it may just also place multiple sections in a single course shell, which Canvas doesn't count as crosslisting itself.  You may be looking for courses with more than one section, which you could deduce with a section provisioning report too, but you may be looking for something totally different.  If you can give any more info about how your systems work (if you happen to know), and what exactly you're looking for since crosslisting is not a very exact word, someone may be able to offer some more precise guidance.

I look forward to hearing back from you!
