Grant special access to quizzes and assignments

Quizzes

Special Access allows you to grant specific students a different set of quiz availability dates, timing and late submission options.

  1. While creating or editing a quiz, go to the Availability Dates & Conditions section.

  2. Scroll down to the Special Access heading and click on Manage Special Access.

After setting up Special Access you can view the number of students with Special Access under the Special Access heading. 

Assignments

  1. While creating or editing an assignment, select the Restrictions tab (current Assignments Experience) or the Availability Dates & Conditions section (new Assignments Experience).

  2. Use the Special Access menu to click Manage Special Access and select one of the following:

    • Allow users with special access to submit files outside the normal availability dates for this folder: The assignment is visible to all students. You can Add Users to Special Access to set different submission dates for selected students. For example, if a student is granted an extension.

    • Only allow users with special access to see this folder: The assignment is hidden from all students except those who have been added to Special Access.

  3. Click Add Users to Special Access.

  4. On the Add Special Access to Quiz page, select a new Due Date, Start Date, and/or End Date.
