Select Availability Dates & Conditions > Manage Special Access

Choose one of the two options listed

Allow selected users special access to this quiz

• This is the default setting and should be used. Selecting this option allows all users to view the quiz and only specific users will have special access (eg. longer time or different date)

Allow only selected users special access to this quiz

• Selecting this option will completely restrict entry to all students except who don’t have special access. Only those selected will see and have access to the quiz

Then select the Add Users to Special Access button

* Only adjust the items that need to be changed.  The other settings will remain the same as for the rest of the class.

• Giving a Due Date will end the quiz availability
• Giving both a start and end date will open the Quiz for that period of time.
• Giving only a start date will open the Quiz at that time and remain open indefinitely.
• Giving only an end date will open the Quiz from the current time until the specified end date.

Select the Override time limit box > select from one of two options

• Set time limit – select from one of the 3 options
  • Automatically submit the quiz attempt – once the time has run out, the system will automatically submit the quiz for the student
  • Flag as “exceeded time limit” – students will be able to continue with the quiz until the submit button is selected
  • Do nothing – students will be able to continue with the quiz until the submit button is selected
• No time limit –  gives learners unlimited time to complete the quiz and does not display a timer.

Attempts Allowed

• Change these options if you would like to override the number of attempts the student(s) has to take this quiz.

From the class list below the settings, tick the box in front of the student (or students) who needs these new settings or tick the top red box to select the entire class > Save

You will see the students listed at the bottom of the Special Access section with their new settings.

Again, the first option Allow selected users special access to this quiz should be selected.  If the second option is chosen, only the students selected will be able to access the quiz.  The rest of the class will not be able to see the exam. Here is what this should look like:

Save and Close

• The “x” next to the student’s name will allow you to delete this student from the Special Access list
•  The ✏️ icon next to the student’s name will allow you to modify the special settings for this student

In the above example, Student Name has a time limit of 200 minutes and is allowed 2 attempts at the exam.
