Granting Extensions on Specific Assignments

To grant an extension on a specific assignment, activity, or quiz, you have to perform a user override. This is useful if a student was sick or if they have an accommodation that allows for extra time. To perform the override, do the following:

1. Click the name of the activity for which you need to provide a user override.
2. Click the gear in the upper right corner and select user overrides, as shown below.
3. Select add user override, and then type the name of the student that needs the extension.
4. Change the due date and select save to ensure the student has access to the activity.

Granting Extensions to Course Access

Students are unable to access their Moodle courses after the semester ends. You will first need to extend activity access, and then contact helpdesk@earlham.edu to request that a student has access to their course. Be sure to include the name of the course, their name, and the last day they will need access.
