Moderating Canvas Quizzes

This interactive decision tree helps CBS faculty and staff grant a student extra time or attempts on a Canvas quiz. In general, students should be able to complete a quiz within the designated time frame. However, on rare occasions a professor may allow a student additional time due to extenuating circumstances. The steps to do this vary by situation, so this tool guides you through it quickly.

This does not apply to students with ODS-approved accommodations (e.g., extended time) or makeup exams/reschedules. The program office (OSA/EMBA) handles accommodations and makeup exams. Refer to the MBA Exam Policy or EMBA Exam Policy and contact the program office with questions.

If you want to add extra time for all students in the class, edit the quiz settings (time limit, due time, and available until time). The extra time will apply for all in-progress attempts or attempts not yet started. It won’t apply to completed attempts.
