We have had Year 11 2024 students who are now in Year 12 2025 and have been created in both courses, the same course but a newer version. Is there a way to transfer or merge their information into the 2025 course? If we can have all the enrolment docs and assignments from 2024 merged into the current 2025 course it would prevent the confusion of information over two different courses.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there @LisaOndatje ,
The only people that would be able to merge the courses together would be admins or teachers, so it should be known to them that a merge occurred.
Unfortunately there isn't really a direct way to prove that courses you were enrolled in were merged together, this would only be able to be seen on the back-end of Canvas courses which students do not have access to.
I recommend reaching out to your school directly for assistance and explaining the behavior.
Hi there @KatrinaChenowet ,
You can merge all existing enrollments from the 2024 course into the 2025 course through cross-listing. How do I cross-list a section in a course as an instructor?
You can import all existing content from the 2024 course into the 2025 course by going into your course's home page OR settings page, clicking on Import Existing Content on the right-hand side, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Copy a Canvas Course'. Then, all of the content from the old course will be added to the new course, in addition to the already-existing content from the new course. How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?
I hope that helps!

I hope this can be cleared up. I believe the classes I was enrolled have different versions and I was merged in between courses. When I go into the files if I am logged on a different browser I can access some of the files. Some of the emails say they are from an outside source. The amount of confusion this has created has been frustrating. What can I do as a student to prove that the courses and assignments have been changed on the educators end?
