For students with an officially approved extension of time accommodations, you can append the due date and availability window in the "Assign to" area in Canvas Assignments or Quizzes.
Only the student(s) specified in the assignment or quiz details has access and can submit per the appended due date and availability window.
Step 1.
- Navigate to the Canvas assignment or quiz.
Step 2.
- Click on the "Edit" button.
Step 3.
- Scroll down to the "Assign" box. Click on "+Add" at the bottom of the Assign to field.
Step 5.
- Type in the name of the student(s) in the new Assign to field.
- Enter in a different time window information.
IMPORTANT: You should see the original Assign to field change from "Everyone" to "Everyone Else". If you do not see "Everyone Else" you may have only assigned the assignment/exam to the student with the exception and thereby removing all the other students' submissions.
Step 6.
- Click "Save".
Step 7.
- Confirm the extra time window for the students with exceptions appears in addition to the time window for the rest of the students in the class.
