How to set student accommodation (extra time) for all quizzes at once?

[RachelLantz]

Is there a way to globally set accommodation settings for one student for a whole Canvas course? For example, I have a student who is to receive 1.5x the normal time limit on all quizzes and tests. The course has weekly quizzes. That is a timely task to manually set this accommodation for each quiz individually, even more so when multiple students need this accommodation. Is there a way to set a "rule" that this one student (or students) is to receive this extra time on any timed assignment/quiz?

Hi @RachelLantz,

If you're using the New Quizzes option in Canvas, you can accomplish this by setting an accommodation for the student.  The accommodation will apply to all new quizzes in the course for that student.

If you're using classic quizzes, there is no course-level option to apply to all quizzes and you'd have to go quiz by quiz setting a moderation option.

Hope this helps!

Hey, Chris. All of a sudden, mine are not saving coursewide and I am having to adjust accommodations for each quiz. Any idea on a work around?

I'm also struggling with this. Since this feature requires New Quizzes, I thought if I migrated each (classic) quiz to new quiz the accommodation would apply to all new (migrated) quizzes, but it does not apply to the migrated New quizzes. Maybe it only works if you create a new quiz from scratch. Any suggestions?
