Accommodations and Special Access

1. From the course navigation bar, select Communication. Then select Classlist from the dropdown menu.
   
   
2. Click the arrow beside the name of the student you want to set accommodations for. Choose Edit Accommodations from the dropdown menu.
    
3. Under timing, you can choose to modify the allowed time either by multiplying it (1.5 time, for example) or adding a set number of minutes that the student will receive as extra time on top of the time allowed in the quiz settings. 
   
   
4. Under Controls, you can check the box to always allow right click for students who may rely on speech-to-text technology. 
   
   
5. Once you have adjusted the settings, click Save.
   
   

If you ever need to adjust this student’s settings for a single quiz, you can still use Special Access to enter one-time exceptions. If a student has both an Accommodation setting and a Special Access setting on a quiz, Special Access will take precedence over the course-wide Accommodation setting. 

If you give a student who has an Accommodation setting Special Access, you will see a warning letting you know what settings are being replaced.
