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.
