[Gradebook Settings] Group of Students with Accommodations for Late Assignments

Problem statement:

Is there a way to set up Canvas so that students with accommodations for extra time can submit assignments one day late without a grade reduction, and have this apply to all assignments for the entire school year? I read that you manually adjusting due dates for each assignment. I was wondering if I can add a group of students who have accommodations into a group or class where this group of students who have extra time will not receive grade reduction. Any ideas? Use Case: For example, if a student has an accommodation that allows them extra time on assignments due to an IEP/504, I want to ensure they can submit any assignment one day late without penalty. This should be automatically applied to all assignments throughout the school year, rather than manually adjusting each due date individually or updating the grade on my end. Thanks!

Proposed solution:

I propose a feature where instructors can look at their class roster and add students into an "extra time" group or setting for external assignments via Canvas. This would allow these students to submit assignments one day late without a grade reduction, and have this setting apply to all assignments for the entire school year. This solution would streamline the process and ensure consistency in accommodating students' needs.
