Correction: the new SIS course merge will be available for Summer courses as well.
A new way to Merge Courses will be coming to our D2L environment after Easter. This new way makes it easier on faculty and is much faster than the original tool, which required a fair bit of manual labor on the part of ITS and COLI. The new tool is far more automatic, which allows for faculty to merge courses on their time rather than waiting for ITS or COLI to manually confirm merges.
Faculty who want to merge courses taught by a colleague with their own courses will still need to contact Helpdesk for assistance.
