The following article details steps to set up a Special Access exception for a Quiz.
Please note that the course layout, steps, and screenshots shown below may differ slightly for your campus.
Students can be added to the Special Access for a quiz at either the Quiz level or the Course level. Set these options to allow the student to access the exam/quiz outside of the original date and time, or, to allow them additional time.
Course Level Special Access
Setting the Special Access accommodations at the course level allows the instructor to set additional time for students in all quizzes within the course.
Note: To adjust quiz dates or number of attempts allowed, you will need to adjust these settings in each individual quiz.

- “Extra time”: Enter the number of additional minutes to allot to the student’s quiz time.
