Add Assessment Exceptions for Students

Add an Exception for a Student

You can add an an exception to adjust assessment settings such as the number of attempts or the due date for an individual student.

Steps to Add an Exception

1. On your Manage page, open Schedule and Assessment Settings.

2. In the Assessment Settings table, scroll to the Exceptions column.
   Note: If the horizontal scroll bar is not visible, scroll to the bottom of the list of assessments, then scroll to the right, or use browser controls (CTRL and -) to zoom out until the Exceptions column is visible. You may also try using your keyboard arrow keys to scroll to the right.

3. Select the number shown for the assessment. Initially this is a 0 then the number increases as exceptions are added. This opens the exception list.

4. Choose Add Exception and select the student from the list.

Adjusting Exception Details
The exception inherits all settings from the assessment by default even if they appear blank. Update only what you need, such as the number of attempts.

Important Note about Due Dates

If the assessment includes a due date, be sure to add a due date and time in the exception as well. This is required even if late start or late submission is allowed.
