Canvas Extended Time Accommodations

This guide will explain how to extend time on Assignments and Quizzes for students. If you have received an accommodation request from a student to receive Extended Time follow the steps below:

Extended Time on Assignments

1. Go to your assignment within Canvas, and click Edit. 
2. Scroll down the section titled Assign Access (1). The Assign to field (2) has a default value of Everyone. If you have already scheduled a due date, it should appear in the Due field (3).
3. Click the + Assign To button at the bottom of the Assign To box. This will open an additional Assign To box.
   
4. Click in the new "Assign to" field that appears, and select the student or students who need additional time. 
   

5. Set the extended due date for the student (1) in the Due Date box (2). Make sure that if you have set Available from and Until dates in the initial assignment settings that you modify the Until field to allow the student access up until their extended due date. However, availability dates are optional.
   Note: Once you Add a second Assign to box, the original one changes from Assign to: Everyone to Assign to: Everyone Else.
