When special circumstances arise, you can give an individual student an exception on a specific test or assignment. An exception includes additional attempts or extended access, even if the assessment is hidden from other students. You can extend access with the show on and hide after dates which is different from the due date. 

Procedure

1. From the Gradebook, select the assessment where the exception will be added for a student. 
2. To the right of the student’s name, select the three dots and select Add or edit exceptions. 
   Note: This is different from the Exemptions option that appears in the same menu. Setting an exemption will excuse a student from taking an assessment.
3. A panel will open up where you can allow more attempts or extend the access to an assignment.
   
4. Click Save at the bottom of the panel to keep your settings.
