     5. A smaller window will pop-up where you are able to select the Bucket Course. This is the main course all other sites will be joining into. In this example, we are selecting Sandbox/Testing Course Micah Wagner.

     6. After selecting the Bucket course, select all of the courses you would like Cross-Listed into the Bucket course. In the example, we're selecting Sandbox Mwagner18 #2.

     7. Once you have selected your courses to Cross-List, you can create a new name of the course. The course name will be seen by all students in the courses being Cross-Listed, so make sure this is something the students will find familiar. In this example, we're naming the new course Sandbox Courses Micah Wagner.
