Objective: Learn to edit passing threshold settings in Canvas.

Notes: Passing Threshold allows schools to set a minimum percentage that must be reached on assignments and/or exams. Editing the Passing Threshold settings in the LMS will set a school-wide Passing Threshold for all assignments and/or exams in all courses.

Please note that because the Passing Threshold applies to all assignments and/or exams, students will not be allowed to progress past teacher-graded items until the teacher enters those grades in the gradebook.

Caution: Only courses created after the Passing Threshold is set will automatically adopt the Passing Threshold.

How-To Guide

• Select Admin on the left hand side, then select your account.

• Select the Account Settings tab.

• Scroll to Passing Threshold Settings.
• Select the + next to Assignment Passing Threshold or Exam Passing Threshold. Then, type in the minimum percentage you will require students to reach.
• Select Apply to All Courses.

Note: These settings will create a default for scored assignments and/or exams, but teachers will have the ability to modify passing thresholds at a course level.
