[Admin Tools] Campus level IEP settings for a student that Admins can set

It would be nice to have at the Admin level that when a student has an IEP for let us say 1.5x or 2x on their exams or assignments that we can go in and put that info in at a student level that automatically carries over to all their classes and automatically sets those times for the student.

This would be a game changer for our faculty and students. It has the potential to improve equity and compliance simultaneously. I can see our faculty happily using a feature like this that will benefit our students significantly.

This would be tremendously helpful. As David says, even if it's just something faculty can do for their entire course for a student, it would simplify things immensely. I'm sure an institutional role would be harder (and breaking out the relevant permissions, etc), but also would help with compliance and workload.

This would be a great addition to both student, faculty, and staff. Having a feature like this in Canvas would only help ensure students accommodations are being met.

Make it possible to make a students profile in canvas accommodated so you do not have to apply accommodations for each of the classes they are in

This would be great!

An addition to this could be a notification or alert that reminds the teacher that students in their class have an IEP. This could function like the accessibility checker where it alerts you and then takes you where you need to fix it for assignments and quizzes.

Having it automatically do it may not work in some cases, but the alert and help to fix it would be an excellent feature to improve accessibility and support for teachers and students.

This is so long over due. It not only can put colleges in legal issues, but it would be so much easier to follow the student throughout all their courses. It could/should also extend the amount of time for the student with accommodations as well.

Example: Time limit for the quiz is only 60 minutes, accommodation is 1.5x and the faculty member doesn't make another special time setting for that student to keep the quiz open for longer than 60 minutes so Canvas does it automatically. 

This happens often when a faculty member is giving the timed quiz in a lab and it is only open for x amount of time. Would save EVERYONE lots of time.
