Occasionally, students may have circumstances that require individual exceptions to be made to things like deadlines or a second chance at submission. 


Making Exceptions in Assignments

  • In your course page, locate the activity or assignment that a student needs a special exception for and click on the activity title. 
  • On the next page, click the More tab in the options just under the activity name, then click Overrides


  • Click Add User Overrides


  • In the user dropdown menu, select the student you want to provide an override for


  • Then change the requirements for the exception you wish to provide, which could be a change in due date, cut-off date, or amount of time allotted. After making changes, click Save.


  • Note that overrides are not available for Forums.
