Providing Extended Time in Canvas for Student(s)

Overview

Using the Moderate Quiz option in Canvas, instructors can provide additional time on a Canvas Quiz (or exam) for specific student(s).  This functionally is frequently utilized when a student has an academic accommodation.

How-To

1. Click the Quizzes [1] link from the left-hand side navigation pane
   
    
2. Open the specific quiz you wish to change [2]
   
    
3. Click the Moderate This Quiz [3] link located on the right side of the screen
   
    
   Note: if the Moderate This Quiz option is missing, ensure the Quiz is first published. 
4. Click the Pencil Icon [4] located to the right of the student requiring extra time
   
    
5. Enter the amount of extra time [5] allowed.  For example: if the student requires 90 minutes, and the current time limit is 60 minutes, you would enter 30 minutes.
   
    
6. Click Save [6]

Additional Considerations

• Ensure the window of time the exam is available is sufficient to allow the extra time for the student.   
• For example, if the exam is 60 minutes for most students and 1 needs an extra 30 minutes, you must ensure the exam is open for at least 90 minutes. 
• This process must be completed for each Canvas Quiz.  So, if a student has an academic accommodation for the entire semester, this process must be replicated each time.
