It may be necessary to allow students extra time to complete online assessments as a reasonable adjustment. This can be done in both the Moodle Assignment and Quiz.

Grant an extension for an Assignment

The Grant extension feature in the Assignment activity allows you to grant an extension to individual students.

1. Open the Moodle space where the Assignment sits.
2. Click on the Assignment link.
3. Click View all submissions.
4. Tick the box in the left-hand column next to each student who needs an extension. All those that you select must have the same new extension due date.
5. Scroll down to the With selected dropdown menu underneath the table of students, select Grant extension and click Go.
   Note: If the assignment does not have a due date, you will not see the Grant extension option.
6. Enter an Extension due date and click the Save changes button.
7. Repeat steps 4 onwards for students with a different due date.

You will see a comment in the Status column for that student that contains information on the new Extension due date.
