Grant a Quiz Extension

This guide covers how to use overrides to give specific students (or groups of students) different quiz settings. For example, you might use this if you want to open a quiz early for a specific student, have different due dates for different class sections, or accommodate extra time for quiz attempts.

Overrides allow you to change the following settings:

Open the quiz date
The first day / time students will be able to attempt the quiz.
Close the quiz date
The last day / time students will be able to submit the quiz. This is also the the day / time that displays to students on the quiz page and in the Moodle Calendar.
Time limit
How long students have to submit the quiz after they’ve started.
Attempts allowed
How many times students can attempt the quiz.

This guide shows how to have a different quiz close date for a specific individual, but the process is the same for overriding other quiz settings. Note that you cannot override the “Expect completed on” date.
