Merging Your Courses

You can merge your course sections into one primary course. Using the SIS Course Merge tool will quickly move selected courses and their classlists into a single course. A destination course must be chosen out of the initial selection, and any material in the other course section sites will be lost. Additionally, instructors will be unenrolled from the other sites and thus lose access.


Note: To unmerge courses, please contact the WTS Helpdesk. Please avoid unmerging courses that are in progress.


To merge courses, please follow these simple steps:

1. Log in to your OWL Brightspace account.

2. Click on the Admin Tools gear or cog icon located in the top-right corner of any Brightspace page to access the SIS Course Merge tool.

5. Choose the course that will serve as the destination for the merge. This course will retain all existing materials, so make sure to be careful if there is content in any of the other courses that will be lost.

Please note that individuals added manually to a non-destination course will not be automatically transferred to the destination course when the two are merged.
