### You can combine (merge) two or more course sections into one paskwâwi-mostos mêskanâs (mêskanâs) course. This allows the students of the selected sections access through a single course in mêskanâs. Whether this is appropriate for your course depends on your preferences (when in doubt, ask your chair). 


When merging courses there are two options:

1. If you wish to merge two or more course sections into one new course for the semester, please click here:**[ Combining Multiple Course Sections for New Course](#new)****.**

2. If you already have a course created for the current semester and you wish to merge another course section(s) into this course, please click here: **[Adding Course Section to Existing Course.](#add)**
