Grant Extra Time for Timed Assignments

You can grant students extra time for a timed assignment after their allotted time has expired.

A common reason for this is if an outage, fire alarm, or other interruption happened while your students were working on the timed assignment.

Note You will usually not want to impose a penalty on your students when extra time is required because of an interruption during the assignment that is beyond your students' control, or to provide a testing accommodation.

You can't reset or pause the timer for a timed assignment; your student's time remaining for the assignment is always calculated from the time they first opened the assignment in WebAssign.

Open the Schedule page and navigate to the assignment.
1. Open the My Classes page.
2. Click Class Schedule under Class Tools.
3. Click a scheduled assignment in the Assignments list to view the week for which it is scheduled.
Beside the assignment, click > Edit Restrictions.
To give additional time to some of your students:
1. Click Grant extra time for specific students.
2. For each student who needs additional time, type the number of additional minutes to allow in Extra Time.
  
  If you previously granted extra time and need to grant more, enter only the number of additional minutes.
  
  Example: If a student used 30 minutes of extra time and they need an additional 15 minutes, enter 15. Do not enter the total of 45.
  
  If the additional time is the same as the previously granted time, enter a different number and save before entering the correct number. Otherwise, WebAssign does not recognize this as a change.
  
  Example: If a student used 30 minutes of extra time and they need an additional 30 minutes, enter a different number and save before entering 30.
3. Optional: Type a positive or negative number in with adjustment to add or subtract points from the student's assignment score.
4. Click Save and close the window.

You might also need to grant an extension to the assignment due date and time for the selected students.
