Info
titleAvoid confusion

Be sure that only your metacourse is visible to students and all the linked courses you added via the meta link remain hidden. That way, your students see only your metacourse. Remember that ALL courses in AsULearn are made visible on the first day of class, so hide the meta linked courses or sections you aren't using on or soon after that first day of the term.

We also recommend placing a welcome message in the summary at the top of your course to let students know they're in the right place. Use the gear icon (top right), Turn editing on, then in the first topic Edit > Edit section, enter message in Summary, then Save changes. Something like "Welcome to MUS 1001 sections 101, 102, and 103!" will avoid confusion, and reduce emails from students saying, "I'm registered for section 103. Why do I see section 101?"

It's also a great idea to post an Announcement into your combined course, explaining you've combined sections, and letting the students know that the link in the syndicated email will take them to the right place.
