The procedure is the same, only your starting point is different.

  • Dropbox – go to Assessment > Dropbox > Select the Dropbox you want to grant special access to > Edit Folder
  • Quiz – go to Assessment > Quiz > Select the Quiz you want to grant special access to > Edit Quiz

On both the assessment activities you will see these three tabs below the title.  Click on RESTRICTIONS.

You will see three sets of dates: due date, start date, and end date.

  • The due date is the deadline of the activity
  • The start date indicates when the activity began
  • The end date indicates when the activity can no longer be seen by the student

For granting special access you will want to change the due date and end date from what you originally indicated.  DO NOT SAVE THE ACTIVITY YET.

Skip down to Special Access and make sure to tick the appropriate circle.  Tick the first one if there is a need for submission and tick the second if you only want your student to see the activity.A screenshot of a cell phone
