Adding and Managing Extensions

An assignment can be extended by changing the Due Date in the Assignment Editor, but this should only be done if students have not yet submitted any answers. Once a student has submitted answers, you will need to add an extension for each student who requires additional time.

To add or manage extensions for a student:

1. Click the Extensions button in the Assignment Editor.

2. In the pop-up window, click Add New Extension to begin.

3. Select the student's name either by using the drop-down menu or typing in the field.

4. Adjust the assignment dates as needed by typing in the box or selecting from the calendar.

5. If the assignment is timed, you can modify the total time allowed under Timed Assignments. Note: This represents the total time available to the student, not additional time.

6. Save your changes by clicking Update or click Cancel to exit without saving.

After clicking Update, you will return to the Add New Extension screen, where the extension settings will now be displayed. From here, you can:

• Edit an extension

• Delete an extension

• Reset the timer for a timed assignment

When finished, click the "x" in the upper right-hand corner to return to the Assignment Editor.

Extensions can also be added from the Manage Grades (Grade Manually) screen, which is discussed more here.
