You can set accommodations for individual students to exempt them from assessment due dates or extend time limits. You can also give an individual student an exception on a specific test or assignment to provide additional attempts or extended access, even if the assessment is hidden from other students.
Add Accommodations for a Student
From Details & Actions in a course, under Roster, select View everyone in your course. On the Roster page, open the student's menu and select Accommodations.
Select an accommodation for the student:
- Due date accommodation: Students with a due date accommodation may submit work any time after the due date for no penalty and their work won't be labelled as late in the gradebook.
- Time limit accommodation: These students have more time to finish their work during timed assessments. You can select Unlimited or specify the percentage of extra time needed to honor this accommodation. NOTE: These accommodations do not apply to discussions.

Grant Assessment Exceptions
There are times when you may need to give a learner either an extension of time to complete an activity or have them resubmit an assignment set for one attempt.
From the Grades tab in the Gradebook, select the student's assessment cell to display the options menu. Then choose Add or edit exceptions and the Exceptions panel opens.
Instructors can:
- Grant additional attempts
- Reschedule submission deadlines
- Allow extended access
