Introduction

There are times when you may need to provide learners with unique testing arrangements. This could include:

• An extension of time to complete an activity;
• Allowing additional opportunities to submit or resubmit an assessment; or
• Create specific time frames for individuals to have access to and be able to complete an assessment.

An exception includes additional attempts or extended access, even if the assessment is hidden from other students. An exception overrides the settings applied to everyone else for only that specific assessment.​ 

The options include:​

Due Date: Use this to assign a due date specific to that learner.

Show On/Hide After Dates: Use these to make the activity only available to a specific learner and not the class as a whole.​

Attempts Allowed: Use this to allow additional attempts to a specific learner and not the class as a whole.
