How do I add extended test accommodations for a student?

Accommodation settings include: adding or removing time for all quiz attempts and multiplying time limits by a set multiplier.

Course Accommodations apply to all quizzes in a course for a student, and only one accommodation can be set per student. You can view it in the Accommodations column or the Moderate panel.

To add accommodations to a specific quiz or manage timer settings for a single attempt, you can moderate a student’s quiz attempt. Moderating a quiz attempt will apply any moderation settings on top of any set accommodations.

Note: Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. If the Until date passes before a student completes an extra attempt or extended-time quiz, any in-progress quizzes auto-submit and the quiz closes, even if the student’s attempt has not expired.
