New Quizzes: Additional Attempts

Customizing additional attempts in a quiz/test for individual students, requires a two-step process.

Step 1

  • Navigate to Quizzes: Go to the quizzes section of your course and select the quiz/test that requires special access for the student.
  • Quiz/Test Dates: Click on the Assign To button, which opens the right side menu tray to input due date or availability dates.

  • Assign to Student: to assign a different due date to an individual student, click the +Add button. Type the name of the student in the Assign To field. Search fields are dynamic, and you can search for students by first or last name. When the full name appears, click the name > input their individual date and time > click Save.
  • After selecting the student, the original entry changes to Everyone Else. Finally, click on the Build button at the bottom right of the screen.

Note

Quiz availability dates remain in effect. If the Until date lapses while students are taking the quiz with extended time, the quiz auto-submits, even if their time extension hasn't expired. Apply an extended Until Time (as seen below) before Step 2.
