Adding an accommodation for a student on a Quiz/Exam

Body

Instructors often encounter situations where students require additional time to complete a quiz/exam or attempts due to accommodations or special circumstances. These accommodations can be set up in both New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes. You also will likely need to modify the time these students can access the quiz/exam and can use this article to do so.

By selecting "Give Additional Time" you are adding the amount of time ON TOP of the original amount of time. For example, if you have your quiz/exam set to a one hour time limit, but the student receives time and a half as an accommodation, you would add 30 minutes to the time they receive:
