According to FERPA, students have certain rights with respect to their education records. In combined, or cross-listed, courses, special care should be taken to safeguard privacy of student records.

- If the decision to cross-list sections is made after students started enrolling, students in both sections must be given an opportunity to provide consent to participate in a learning experience in a combined course.
- Only courses that are officially combined or where students provided consent also be combined for the ease of delivery into one common Canvas site using Cross-listing Assistant in Canvas.
