Cross-listing independent studies section with SoPA

1. The student should initiate the correct form which should be signed by the student, instructor, and department head offering the course.

2. Once complete, the form should be sent to the SoPA Associate Dean of Academic Advising, Ilianna Kwaske.

3. Once approved, SoPA the ADAA will communicate this back to the department offering the course. Requesting the cross-list will also be communicated in the approval.

4. The department will create the section and SoPA cross-list.

Adding the cross-list

Navigate to the section using the CRN in SSASECT. Click the More Information button.

The first field in the supplemental data table that opens is “CS-Cross List”, which is the field we’re updating. To see all values, click the lookup/search button.

Click Filter.

In the Description field, use search terms related to the subject of the course. In this example we are looking for an Art course. Use “%” as a wild card character for more relevant results. Click Go.

Because this is a SoPA cross-list, you’re looking for codes that start with “PA” (Professional Advancement), so PAAH is Art History and PAAT is Art Studio. Choose the option that best matches the course content. Click Select. Save.
