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 that 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 assigment, see User Overrides - Add Overrides for One Assignment.
