How can I grant extended testing time to students with accommodations?

If you are using Moodle to provide online tests to students, it is still possible to provide extended time or have students take a course at an alternative time.  As with normal quizzes and tests, students should be granted extended time as indicated on that student's form provided by the SRC.  Extended time can be granted to students on any Moodle quiz, regardless of whether lockdown or video proctoring controls have been applied to the quiz. 

To grant extended time for a Moodle Quiz, follow these instructions:

1. Enter the Moodle course site
2. Click on the quiz you want to add an override for
3. Click the gear menu in the upper-right corner and select User overrides
4. Click Add user override
5. In the Override user field, select the student’s name from the list of course participants
6. Under Time limit, enter the appropriate amount of time required
7. Click Save

User overrides can also be used to modify the following for individual students:

• The window of time in which the student can take the quiz
• The number of attempts a student is allowed to take a quiz

Some quizzes are facilitated using the Moodle Assignment module.  To allow extended time for a test that is facilitated through the Assignment module, follow these instructions:

1. Enter the Moodle course site
2. Click on the assignment you want to add an override for
3. Click the gear menu in the upper-right corner and select User overrides
4. Click Add user override
5. In the Override user field, select the student’s name from the list of course participants
6. For Due date, modify the due date to allow for the appropriate amount of time
7. Click Save
