Issuing Certificates
Xen.Ed can automatically generate certificates for both self-paced courses and instructor-paced courses. When certificates become available, options for learners to view their certificates are available on the learner dashboard, the learner Profile page, and the course Progress page.

You can specify when you want to make certificates available.
  • For self-paced courses, by default, certificates are generated for learners when they have completed enough of the course, and with a high enough grade, to qualify for a certificate.

  • If you want to generate certificates only after learners have completed the course, you can disable this feature.
    For more information, see Allow Learners to Receive Early Certificates.

  • For instructor-paced courses, three options are available:

    • By default, certificates become available to learners 48 hours after your course end date. If you change your course end date, Studio automatically adjusts the date for certificates as well.

    • You can specify a different date to make certificates available.
      For more information, see Create a new Certificate.

    • You can allow learners to receive their certificates when they have completed enough of the course, and with a high enough grade, to qualify for a certificate.
      For more information, see the last section Allow Learners to Receive Early Certificates in this article.

Issue Certificates on a Specified Date


If you do not want to generate certificates 48 hours after the course end date, you can specify the date when you want the platform to generate certificates. You can change this date at any time.

For more information about how to specify a day to issue certificates, see Create a new Certificate .

Allow Learners to Receive Early Certificates


Self-paced courses issue certificates to learners as soon as learners have completed enough of the course, with a high enough grade, to earn a certificate. You do not have to change any settings.
