Note
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.
- Click Admin on the left hand side, then select a school.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Find Passing Threshold Settings.
Click the pencil icon next to Assignments or Exams.
Then type in the minimum percentage you will require students to reach.
