Requests to merge two (or more) course sections may be emailed to daymergecourses@framingham.edu. The Registrar’s Office will make a change in Banner to initiate the merge in Canvas.
It is important to note the following features of the merge request process:
- Merge requests are managed by the Registrar’s Office.
- Most eligible “merge course” situations are done automatically through Banner. It is important to check the People list in your Canvas courses to compare them and identify which course shell contains all of the students.
- The word “MERGE” listed in your course name is used to denote that course enrollments were added to another course section.
- Course enrollments are not always removed from the original course section. For this reason, courses marked as MERGE should be made unavailable to students.
- A course section ending in 999 is used to denote that many course sections were combined into one. (Example: Biology Lab Sections)
- In general, online course sections are not merged. The exception is with sections containing a “W”, in which case the students would likely already be merged into the original section of the course. Check the enrollments in the People area of Canvas.
If you have additional questions, contact the Registrar's Office or email eto@framingham.edu.
