WARNING: The assignment's settings DO NOT transfer to the Override. You will need to set the following: Opening date/time & Closing date/time (if a date field is unset, the assignment is OPEN to the student), Attempts Allowed (see Note below). Time Limit & Password if applicable.
NOTE: The number of Attempts set in a User Override must include any previously completed attempts, if any.
Example: If the assignment settings allow for 1 attempt, and you want to allow a student who has already completed an attempt to reenter the assignment, the override must be set to 2 attempts.
A User Override provides the ability to override certain assignment settings for a particular student without affecting the rest of the class.
- Example: A student requires testing accommodations, such as time and a half. If an exam has a Time Limit of 1 hour, you can set an override to allow the student 1 1/2 hours or adjust the closing date/time as applicable.
- Example: A student will be missing class, and you want to allow another day for the student to turn in the assignment. Set a User Override to extend the due date for the student.
To Set User Overrides for one or multiple students on a single assignment, see User Overrides - Add Overrides for One Assignment.
