To give a student an "Override," you must be on the quiz's home page. Click on the quiz's link on your course homepage and then click on the "More" tab.

On the "More" menu click on "Overrides."

Click on "Add user override."

Search for the student that will get the override in the Override user field. You can search by email address or by name. Select the student from the list that appears below the field.

Once a student has been selected, their name will appear above the search box highlighted in blue.

Now you can choose from several overrides:

• Change open and close dates for the student (Open the quiz, Close the quiz)
• Give student extra time if the quiz has a time limit (Time limit)
• Give student extra attempts (Attempts allowed)

You can give the student one or more of these overrides.

For this example, let's give the student an extra week by changing the quiz close date. You can change the date by clicking any of the date fields, or (as in this case), you can click the calendar icon at the end, then a date on the calendar to change it to.

With the override created, click Save at the bottom of the page.

The new override will be listed on the page now.

This override will apply to the listed student ONLY. Other student overrides can be added and this override can still be edited. The student with the override will be able to take advantage of it as soon as it is created -- within the parameters you have set for them.
