Special Access is a function in Quizzes that allows you to grant participants special access. For each quiz, you can grant students extra time to complete the quiz.

Open a quiz to edit it. You will find Special Access under Release Conditions in the Availability Dates & Conditions tab.

1. Click on Manage Special Access.

2. Enable Allow selected users special access to this quiz if you want all participants in your course to be allowed to take the quiz and only those with Special Access have other restrictions. 
   Enable Allow only users with special access to see the quiz if you want only participants with Special Access to see and complete the quiz.
3. Click Add users to Special Access.

This opens a new screen where you can define the properties of the quiz for special access users.

1. Here you can set a different deadline for users with Special Access. Don't want to set a Due Date for them? Then make sure Has Due Date is not enabled.
2. Here you can set a different Start Date for users with Special Access. Don't want to set a Start Date for them? Then make sure Has Start Date is not enabled.
3. Here you can set a different End Date for users with Special Access. Again, if you don't want to set an End Date for them, make sure Has End Date is not enabled.
4. Do you want to adjust the time limit for Special Access users compared to other users? Then enable Override time limit. Next to Original time limit, you will see the time limit for regular users.
5. Select Set time limit if you want to set a different time limit and No time limit if you don't want to enter a time limit for Special Access users.
6. If you chose Set time limit, you can enter the new time limit under New Time Limit. You can also choose to use the multiplier. Students with Special Access will then receive X times as much time as students without Special Access. Under Extra Time you can see how much extra time students with Special Access get.

7. Enable Override behaviour when time limit is exceeded if you want there to be different consequences for users with Special Access when the time is up. Behind Original behaviour you see the consequences for users without Special Access.
8. If you enable this, you get three options. Choose
   • Automatically submit the quiz attempt if you want Special Access users to automatically submit the quiz when the time limit is reached;
   • Flag as 'exceeded time limit' and allow the learner to continue working if you want the Special Access user to be able to continue taking the quiz after the time is up, however it will be flagged as an attempt not completed within the time limit;
   • Do nothing: the time limit is not enforced if you want the time limit for Special Access users to be an advice only, however, with no further consequences.

With Attemps, you can specify alternative options that students with Special Access have.

1. Enable Override attempts allowed if you want students with Special Access to have more/less attempts. Then under Attempts Allowed, enter how many attempts those students will get.
2. Under Advanced Attempts Conditions you can indicate whether students must have reached a minimum percentage on the previous attempt to be allowed to make another attempt.

With Users, you specify which students will receive Special Access.

1. Enable the students you want to give Special Access to.
2. Click Add Special Access.

You can give a student extra time for each quiz in your course by default, for example, due to a disability.

1. Click on Administration.
2. Click on Classlist.

1. Open the menu for the student in question.
2. Click on Edit Accomodations.

1. Select Modify Time Limit.
2. Then select:
   Multiplier of original quiz time to multiply the time of the quiz. This option is useful if the time of your different quizzes varies greatly. 
   Extra time to allocate a fixed number of extra minutes to all quizzes taken by the student.
3. Click Save to save your changes for this student.

An icon will appear in the class list behind the name of the student to who you have given extra time.

In the quiz, you can also see under Special Access whether a general exclusion has been set for a student or a specific exclusion for this quiz.

Open an existing quiz for editing.

1. Click on Manage Special Access  in the Availabilty and Comditions tab.

2. Click on Add users to Special Access.

Scroll to the bottom where you can see a list of all users in your course. If a student has special access, either as a default or specifically for this single quiz , you will see the special access conditions below the name of the student.
