Combining course sections in D2L is called a course merge.


When merging course sections, one section is chosen as the "primary" course section into which all other "secondary" course section(s) will be merged. All students will be enrolled into the primary course section and the secondary course section(s) should be left inactive and unpinned.


You can verify the merge within the Classlist tool by changing the “View By” from “Users” to “Sections” and then checking the dropdown for Sections. This will show all the course sections that have been merged.

Important Notes:

  • Requests are accepted through the end of the drop/add period.
  • Requests submitted at least one business day prior to the start of the semester will be processed as soon as possible.
  • You can continue to work in your primary course until the merge processes. Content in the primary course will be retained., while content in the secondary course(s) will be deleted.
  • After the merge is complete, all enrollment changes will happen within the combined course (primary) course. Remember, there can be a 24-hour delay from when you see enrollment changes in MyKU until they appear in D2L.
  • You will still be able to view your students by section in the Classlist. Change the “View By” dropdown menu to view course sections individually. A second dropdown will appear, allowing you to choose the desired section. To see all students again, change the “View By” dropdown menu back to “User”. Students will only be able to view their own section in the Classlist.
