The following guidance policy is intended to help departments/programs to decide when cross-listing is appropriate and when it is not appropriate.

The definition of cross-listing is when a single course is given two different course codes. The course codes may differ with respect to school code or subject code, and in some cases the class code may differ. When a course is cross-listed, a note must be added to Degree Navigator and the New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog indicating that credit will not be given for taking the same course twice under the two cross-listed codes.

The SEBS faculty ratified the policy on February 25, 2021.

When is cross-listing is appropriate and why?

1. The justification for course cross-listing must be pedagogic.
2. The course satisfies a requirement for students in two different majors. They each register for their own major’s cross-listed version of the course.
   Reason: Cross-listing is appropriate because the course is a permanent part of each major and the course topic is closely aligned with the subject for each major.
3. The course satisfies a requirement for majors enrolled in two different schools. They each register for their own school’s cross-listed version of the course.
   Reason: As above.
4. The course is designed for both undergraduates and graduate students. The graduate students are required to perform additional work, so the two versions of the course are not identical.
   Reason: These are essentially two different courses with overlapping content and taught together. Cross-listing reflects the overlapping content.
