Academic Catalog

Cross-Listing: Refers to the same course taught with different departmental prefixes (e.g., the Race and Ethnic Relations course is listed as both SOC 215 and ES 215).

Permanently Cross-Listing Courses

Cross-listing typically occurs when courses are team-taught across disciplines/areas, when courses are taught by different departments in different years, or when multiple prefixes are required by accreditation or endorsement requirements.

1. The cross-listed courses must be at the same level (e.g., 300/300, 400/400, etc.).
2. Where possible, the cross-listed courses should have the same number (e.g., GLG 259 and GSP 259, or ES 356 and POS 356).
3. There must be one syllabus utilized for the cross-listed courses, and the syllabus must display both courses.

One-Time Cross-Listing Courses

One-time cross-listed course approvals may be granted by the Associate Vice Provost for Curriculum, Assessment, and General Studies as specified below. One-time approvals are normally sought when the courses are not taught together on a permanent basis. The criteria listed in the policy for Permanently Cross-Listing Courses apply in these situations.

Requests for one-time cross-listing should be made during the schedule building phase for each term, and before the actual submission due date. Units should allow 7-10 days processing time for review/approval.

The class meeting times should not be scheduled together until they have received a one-time approval.

Permanently Cross-Listing Courses

The college-level curriculum committee must approve all courses requesting cross-listing.

The courses must be submitted to the respective committees on the appropriate curricular request form and include the following:

1. A single syllabus listing both prefixes and course numbers.
2. Written justification for the cross-listing.
