Grant Extra Time for Timed Assignments

You can grant students extra time for a timed assignment after their allotted time has expired.

You can't reset or pause the timer for a timed assignment; your student's time remaining for the assignment is always calculated from the time they first opened the assignment in WebAssign.

This process adds time to the time limit, but does not move the due date.

Automatic due date extensions are not applied to timed assignments, but you can grant a manual extension for the due date.

  1. Beside the assignment, click Actions button > Edit Restrictions.
  2. To give additional time to some of your students:
    1. Click Grant extra time for specific students.
    2. Optional: Type a positive or negative number in with adjustment to add or subtract points from the student's assignment score.
    3. Click Save and close the window.
You might also need to grant a manual extension to the assignment due date and time.
