Extended Time on Assignments

Step by Step

3. Click the +Add button just below the Assign fields. 

4. Click in the new "Assign to" field that appears, and select the student or students who need additional time. 

5. Set the extended deadline dates for the student. 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.
