# Using a Meta-Course

Some MLC courses have several sections of the same course. These can be combined into a single course, called a meta-course. Using a meta-course eliminates the need for posting/creating content in multiple locations for multiple sections.

#### Instructions

1. Request a meta-course through [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2LsRJJDBx8JAJAjH5y4i-ARPrVMS6T81xFbQ6hjYCC9iBGw/viewform).
2. That's it :)

- *The individual sections will still appear on your dashboard, but you can safely ignore them. Do all updating, grading, etc. in the meta-course.*
- *Meta-courses cannot be created until the single sections are created in Moodle through the database. This happens approximately 6 weeks before the start of each semester.*
