Granting Exceptions for Tests and Assignments in Ultra

You can add exceptions for specific students that may need an extra attempt or access to the assessment at a different time.

Accommodation vs. Exception:

  • An Accommodation is course-wide and applies to due dates and time limits for all assessments in your course for a specific student.
  • An Exception applies to a specific assessment for a specific student, where you can change the visibility dates and number of attempts for that student.

To add an exception:

  1. Go to Gradebook and select the assessment a student needs an exception in.
    Gradebook in the gradable items view.
  2. Locate the student and select the three dots at the end of their row. Next, select “Add or edit exceptions”.
