Special Restrictions for Assessments

Add special access to an assignment

Special access permissions allow you to set different availability dates and times for specific users. For example, you could extend the deadline for users who require remedial help or who are submitting work beyond the original scope of the assignment. You can also add special access after an assignment’s end date has passed for users who have a legitimate excuse for missing the deadline or for users you want to submit additional material, such as planning notes or a bibliography. The  special access icon displays on the Assignment list page beside any assignment that includes special access settings.

1. On the navbar, click Assessments then choose Assignments.
2. On the Assignments page, from the context menu of the assignment you want to add special access to, click Edit Assignment.
