Crosslisted courses

Crosslisted courses are the same content offered under different subject codes and may have different course numbers. They may be offered by more than one academic unit.

The following rules apply to crosslisted courses:

• Permanent courses and omnibus courses cannot be crosslisted with one another.
• Crosslisted courses cannot exist within the same subject.
• Crosslisted courses must match in every way (title, description, components, etc.) with the following exceptions: subject codes cannot match; numbers can match but do not have to. For example: CSE 120/EEE 120, BIO 312/PHI 320, PHY 511/MSE 526, SOS 656/JUS 656.
• Crosslisted courses must be at the same level (e.g., lower-division (100- and 200-level) with lower-division, upper-division (300- and 400-level) with upper-division courses, 500-level with other 500-level, 600-level with other 600-level, and 700-level with other 700-level.

Crosslisted courses are assigned a course equivalency number and students may only receive credit for only one course in the pair or group of crosslisted courses. Some units may require students to enroll in a course under a certain subject to apply to degree-specific requirements.

If a crosslisted course is being added, changed, or deleted, the academic unit creating the Kuali CM proposal must verify the request with the department(s) of the other course(s) in the crosslisting and attach a statement of support from the other unit(s).

See the FAQ for the differences between crosslisted courses and combined classes.
