Granting Student Extensions in Assessment Dropbox Folders

When students receive special consideration for an assessment, changes may need to be made to allow for an extension date. This guide shows you how to modify an Assessment Dropbox to extend the submission time for one or more students, while the details for the rest of the class remain the same.

Managing special access can only be done by a Block Convenor or Block Instructor in the Delivery Space.

 Below are steps to extend the submission time for one or more students:

 

Step One: Edit the Assessment Dropbox
