You're teaching two sections of the same class and you'd like to just use one Blackboard course shell.

Blackboard has a nice feature to automatically manage multiple sections of the same course. A system administrator will have to set one (or more) of your courses as child courses( )of a parent course. Then, in the parent course, you’ll be able to see which section students are enrolled in and our automatic enrollment integration won’t be affected.

Just let us know (login required) which course you’d like to use as the parent and which course(s) to link as child(ren). Note: It’s best if you haven’t created any content or had any interactions in the child course(s) before merging.
