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 gradebook: Select the student's assessment cell to open the Grade Details panel. Under Accommodations, configure your exception, such as access dates, extensions, and number of attempts allowed.
Instructors can:
- Grant additional attempts
- Reschedule submission deadlines
- Allow extended access
