Add Additional Time or Attempts for a Student in Classic Quizzes

Last updated on February 9, 2024

Additional time on a quiz is often something required by accommodations or other conditions. Once you have set up your quiz in Canvas, including the allowed time for all students, you can easily change that time requirement for select students without editing the rest of the class.

Note that in Classic Quizzes, you can only add time for a specific student quiz by quiz. Classic Quizzes do not enable you to add time for all quizzes simultaneously.
