Add requirements to modules to provide your students with a checklist to help students understand what they have completed and what still needs to be done.

To add requirements to a module within a Canvas course shell, follow these steps:

Open Modules: In Course Navigation, click the "Modules" link.
Edit the Module:
- Find the module you want to add requirements to and click the gear icon next to it.
- Select "Edit" from the dropdown menu.
Add Requirements: Click the "+ Add Requirement" button to begin adding your first requirement to the module.
Select Requirement Type:
- You can choose from several options for what students must do to complete each item in the module:
  - View the item: Students must view the item.
  - Mark as done: Students must mark the assignment or page as done.
  - Contribute to the page: Students must post a reply to a non-graded discussion or contribute content to a page.
  - Submit the assignment: Students must submit an assignment, post a reply to a graded discussion, or submit a quiz.
  - Score at least: Students must meet a minimum submission score.
Set Completion Requirements: You can choose whether students must complete all of the requirements or just one of them. Additionally, you can specify if students must complete the requirements in sequential order.
Update Module: After setting the requirements, click the "Update Module" button to save your changes.

Most Restrictive:
- Students must complete items in a specific order and master concepts before moving on.
- Set up: Select "Students must complete all of these requirements in sequential order" and add the preceding module as a prerequisite.
