Cross-listed Course(s):
Cross-listing is an administrative way for two or more academic units to share responsibility for a single course. The same course is offered collaboratively by two or more academic units and identified by the same course hundred level (i.e. both 2xx, 3xx, etc.), course name, course description, K-State 8 tags, and learning objectives. Cross-listed courses are combined in the course catalog and when scheduled in KSIS and are subject to the retake policy as repeated courses.
Cross-listed courses must be identical in every way, apart from the subject code (prefix) and course number, and should only be created as a benefit to students. If a course is important to students in another program, that alone is not a valid reason for cross-listing as this can be handled in other ways within the curriculum. Cross-listing is not meant to be used for combining or merging (for purposes of getting one section in CANVAS) the same course taught by the same faculty member into one section (i.e., four sections of ENGL *101 being rolled into one CANVAS section). Trying to do this presents problems with faculty load, enrollment numbers, and reporting.
Dual-Listed Course(s):
The same course is offered by the same academic units and is identified typically by the same course name, but with different course prefixes, numbers, and levels. Each course should have clear learning outcomes that address the differences in the course level combinations, between an undergraduate/graduate course combination or master/doctoral course combination.
These courses are typically for undergraduate/graduate combinations and do not typically deviate from more than one course (hundred) level as defined by KBOR (e.g., 500/600 or 600/700) or for master/doctoral combinations (e.g., 700/800 or 800/900). Justification must be provided for deviations of more than one-course description level.
Combined, Co-Convened Course(s):
The temporary linking of one or more separate courses that are independent of each other but are combined into one class offering (same time/day and Facility ID) for administrative convenience. Co-Convened courses will have a similar course title and can be used for dual offerings of the same course (both undergraduate and graduate) or courses within different subject areas.
These courses are typically smaller cohorts of students in similar courses by topics but will vary in course level. The academic department is maximizing teaching and space resources by co-convening the course into a common day/time and space offering to ensure maximum utilization of a studio or lab space. Each course offering that is taught in a co-convened manner is independent of the other and has clear learning outcomes that address the specific course level.
Equivalent Course(s):
Courses offered by one or more academic units with different course numbers and course names may have a similar or different course prefix. Equivalent substitute courses are noted in the catalog that they cannot be taken for credit if credit has been received in specified equivalent course(s). Equivalent courses are subject to the retake policy as repeated courses.
