Combine sections
https://canvas.gatech.edu/combine-courses
Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. Coursework is retained with the course, not with the section enrollments, so if a published course is cross-listed, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.
E-mail lists
Once your courses have been combined, you can use Canvas e-mail lists to e-mail your students.
