Allow a Student Special Access to Submit a Quiz

NOTE: As of May 2021 there is a new accommodations feature through Classlist, which allows you to give extra time on all quizzes to individual students in a course. If you set special access for quiz time duration for a student, AND you also have an overall accommodation set for them via this new Classlist feature, the one you have most recently edited will be the one that sticks.

3. Click the Restrictions tab

5. Click the Allow selected users special access to this quiz radio button (Note: choosing Allow only users with special access to see this quiz may interrupt access for other students in the course if the due date has not passed.)
6. Click the Add Users to Special Access button

8. To increase the allotted amount of time on the exam such as double time on the quiz, click the Enforced time limit radio button in the Timing section>Set the new allotted time
