If the UBC Vancouver Centre for Accessibility or the UBC Okanagan Disability Resource Centre has contacted you regarding a student who requires exam accommodations, you can add time extensions and allow multiple attempts on Canvas exams for that individual. To add extra time, follow the instructions below:
- Log in to your Canvas course, and click Quizzes in the Course Navigation.
- Click the 3 dots to the right of the quiz, and select Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to “Assign to”, and click + Add.
- Type the name(s) of the student(s) who will need extended time.
- Adjust the “Due” and “Until” dates for the student(s) to a later date/time to match the time extension provided.
- Click Save.
- Click Moderate This Quiz in the menu on the right-hand side. (The Moderate This Quiz link will appear once you have published the quiz).
- In the table that opens, click the pencil icon to the right of the student you want to give more time to.
- In the “Student Extensions” pop-up, use the “Extra time on every attempt” field to enter the number of additional minutes to provide for this student.
- Click Save, and repeat this for any other students who require accommodations.
