Special access permissions allow you to set different availability dates and times for specific students. For example, you could extend the deadline for users who require remedial help or who are submitting work beyond the original scope of the assignment. You can also add special access after an assignment’s end date has passed for users who have a legitimate excuse for missing the deadline or for users who want to submit additional material, such as planning notes or a bibliography.
- On the navbar, click Assessments > Assignments.
- On the Assignments page, from the dropdown menu of the assignment you want to add special access to, click Edit Folder
- In the right hand sidebar, click to expand Availability Dates and Conditions
- Click Manage Special Access
- Select one of the following options:
- Allow users with special access to submit outside the normal availability dates for this folder (default; most common)
- Allow only users with special access to see this folder (locks out any student who does not have special access applied)
- Click Add Users to Special Access
- On the Special Access page, do the following:
- In the Properties area, set the Date Availability for when you want the users to have special access to the assignment
- In the Users area, select the users you want to give special access to
- Click Save, then click Save and Close
