Configuring Student Accommodations for Blackboard Assessments

Description: In this article you will learn how to apply extended time for a student(s) on Blackboard assessments. After accommodations are setup, students with and without accommodations will experience the same access to test information such as grades and feedback.

How-to Steps:

1. Find the assessment in the content area and from the drop down chevron next to the name of the quiz, select Edit the Test Options.
    
2. Under Test Availability Exceptions, select Add User or Group.
3.  A window will open showing a list of students on the roster. Select the student(s) requiring extended time modifications.
   
4. Click Availability to modify the date/time for that particular student. You may also wish to modify the number of Attempts and Timer Options (if limit is already set) in this area. Click Save when done.
   
   
5. Select the Submit button at the bottom of the page. These settings may be updated at any time and more than one student can have unique availability exceptions added.
