As an Administrator, how can I set a specific Grading Scale in the Settings menu (Grading Scheme), t

Hi All.

I have just been made an Admin within my organization (CEA CAPA International Education).

In order to avoid that single faculty teaching courses might run the risk to not have the correct Grading Scale set in the Settings menu of their courses, I would like to set a specific one to become a default for the entire organization and for all courses either created from scratch or updated from previous semesters.

I searched in all your super thorough and useful Guides (also in the one dedicated to Administrators, see here at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/Admin-Getting-Started-Resources/ta-p/579393), but I could not find the information I was and I am currently looking for.

Thanking you in advance for your support, I wish you a pleasant day.

Hi @GuidoReverdito,

You can set a custom default grading scheme within your Canvas hierarchy at the account or sub-account level, ensuring consistency across all courses. Only account admins can edit, archive, or delete account-level grading schemes.

The guide below will direct you to the area in Canvas where you can make these changes. Look for the "Account default grading scheme" dropdown.

How do I view and manage grading schemes in an account?
