Add or edit exceptions (extensions & extra attempts) (Ultra)

What are exceptions?

Exceptions allow course staff to set alternative release conditions, due dates and attempts for individual students across Ultra assessments.

Why would I use exceptions?

Exceptions allow extensions or alternative assessment arrangements for students by allowing customised release conditions, due dates or attempts for Ultra assessments to be set.

Add an exception to a student

Select Gradebook from the navigation bar.
Select Marks from the Gradebook navigation bar.
Click on the Search gradebook textbox, enter the student’s name
Locate the assessment that requires an exception
Click on the Cell for the students assessment result.
Select Add or edit exceptions from the drop-down list.
Set the required exceptions from the following options:
- Assessment due date: sets a new due date and time for the student's assessment.
- Access from: sets a date and time in which the student will gain access to the assessment.
- Access until: sets a date and time in which the student will lose access to the assessment.
- Attempts allowed: sets the number of attempts the student is allowed for the assessment.

Tip: It is recommended that the Access until date and time is not used for Ultra assignments as it will impact the ability for students to access their feedback.
Warning: The access until date and time can not be set to the same date and time as the due date and must be set a minimum of 1 minute after the due date and time.
Note: 24-hour time format is used in Ultra courses
