Grant an Assignment Extension
This guide covers how to grant specific students an extension on an assignment by setting user overrides.
Overrides allow you to change the following settings:
- Allow submissions from date
- The first day / time students will be able to submit anything to the assignment.
- Due date
- The day / time that displays to students on the assignment page and in the Moodle Calendar.
- Cut-off date
- athe last day / time students will be able to submit anything to the assignment.
This guide shows how to have a different assignment due date date for a specific individual, but the process is the same for overriding other assignment settings. Note that you cannot override the "Expect completed on" date.
Steps
- Open the assignment you want to add an extension to.
- Click the gear icon at the top right of the page then select User overrides.
- On the page that opens, click the Add user override button. Then you'll be on the user override settings page.
- Select the student you want to add an extension for from the user dropdown.
- Change the due date to reflect the extension. This new due date will only apply to the students you've specified in step 4.
- Click Save.
- You'll see the extension you just added in the list of user overrides.
