D2L Course Merge Guide

The Course Merge tool is designed to streamline the process of merging and unmerging courses within D2L. You will only see the courses for which you are listed as instructor of record. This tool is accessible through the Admin Tools menu, specifically under the SIS Course Merge option.

Warning: Before you merge or unmerge courses, consider the implications of the action, including potential risk of data loss caused by user actions. Use caution to prevent any unintended loss of content or user progress during the merging process.
