Naming conventions of merged courses

Once multiple courses have been merged into a single Blackboard course site, the naming convention will change to one of the following. 

Courses with different populations: 

• ​ECON7360S_6260STx enrolments added to ECON3360S_6260STx creates the following combined course site:
  [ECON3360/7360] Applied Econometrics for Microeconomics (St Lucia). Semester 2, 2011

Courses at multiple locations:

• MGTS1960S_6260GAx enrolments added to MGTS1960S_6260EXx creates the following combined course site: [MGTS1960/7979] Business Management I (Gatton and External). Semester 2, 2012

Courses with combined populations and locations:

• ENVM3504S_6260GAx, ENVM3504S_6260STx, ENVM7504S_6260EXx and ENVM7504S_6260STx enrolments all added into ENVM3504S_6260EXx creates the following combined course site:

If your course requires you to use a UQ Extend course from an existing course, you will need to copy it from an existing course.

• As you require a UQ Extend course, check the Yes checkbox and then click on the Submit button.

Note: UQ Extend content can exist in both SI-net and non-SI-net courses
