Avangi · Answer

Passing is an adjective (p.p.), and pass in this context is a label. Of course it's also a verb.

You have received a passing grade for the term. I'm sorry, you do not have a passing mark at this time.

All papers will simply be graded as "pass" or "fail."

I'll never be able to pass this test! The teacher told me I'm not going to pass History. At this moment, I don't think I'm passing anything! Last year I passed all my subjects.

There's also a noun usage, which means you're allowed to skip some obligation. It could be confused with the grade thing. I got a pass on having to make the qualifying run.
