Setting up cross-listed courses in EMS

Adding an additional class meeting pattern for two cross-listed courses

To manually add an additional class meeting pattern for two cross-listed courses, you may have to (temporarily) change one of the courses from Academic Confirmed to Academic Cross-Listed, and then change back.
OR better yet: add the new meeting for the cross-listed course first (light blue), THEN add the meeting for the academic confirmed (dark blue) course

EMS will make visible no more than 2 cross-listed courses in the Academic Book (the first – status: Academic Confirmed – in dark blue, and the second – status: Academic Crosslisted/Shared – in light blue). To see if there are more than two, you must open one reservation entry and look in the left-hand column. (The cross-listed ones won’t come up in Browser for some reason? Also, if more than two are cross-listed, ONLY the dark blue is visible in Academic Book??

Set course preferences for cross-listed courses to meet in the same space for one day of the meeting pattern

If room assignments change for x-listed courses in the SIS, you’ll need to perform the following steps to reflect these changes in EMS.

The following guidance has details on handlingcross-listed courses with “break-out” meeting patterns (second meeting patterns that are unique to one section, as opposed to the primary meeting pattern shared by all sections).

  1. Unsync the Parent and Child Courses through the EMS Academic Browser (Browse For: Courses)

  2. Synchronize the Term through Manage Terms (But don’t process any changes in the Course Updates screen)

  3. Open the Academic Browser, and locate the Courses that you unsynchronized.

    1. Browse For: Course Dates

  4. Highlight all Child and Parent Course Dates, and Select ‘Shares Space’ through the Tools Menu

  5. Highlight the Individual Course Dates that require a different Meeting Location (Tuesdays), and navigate to Tools > Set Course Preferences

  6. Now focus on the Course Updates Screen by selecting the Window, Click Refresh.

  7. Highlight the Courses, Click Process

  8. Open the reservation, verify the Courses were published correctly.
