The Accommodations tool allows you to set up modified quiz time for individual students directly in the Classlist, so one setup applies across every quiz in the course.When a student has an extended time accommodation, go to the Classlist and select Edit Accommodations beside the student’s name. From there, activate Modify Time Limit and either apply a multiplier of the original time or add a specific number of extra minutes. Once saved, you’ll see an accommodation icon next to the student’s name in the Classlist confirming the setting is in place, though the accommodation itself won’t be visible inside the quiz settings.

Did you know?
The time multiplier in the Accommodations tool applies automatically to every quiz in the course. You don’t need to set it up quiz by quiz, which means less manual work and fewer chances for something to slip through.
The Accommodations tool only adjusts time limits. If a student needs different availability dates, a different due date, or additional attempts, you’ll need to use Special Access within the individual quiz settings to cover those adjustments.
The Accommodations tool is one of several Brightspace features designed to reduce administrative overhead while supporting your students. For more, visit Langara’s Brightspace Instructor Help site.
