Special access can be given to one or more students for a quiz, e.g. a longer time limit or a unique start and/or end date. Special access can also allow students to bypass Lockdown Browser. Instructors can provide Special Access in two ways. From the Classlist, instructors can
set term-long Special Access accommodations for students. In situations of unrepeated accommodations, instructors can set
individual quizzes to have Special Access as well.
Add Term-Long Special Access
When students have accommodations that will span for the entire term, instructors can set it so each student has Special Access for quizzes throughout the quarter using the Classlist.

Classlist.
- Scroll down and navigate to the student for whom to grant Special Access.

dropdown arrow next to the student [A].

To grant the student a multiplier of the original quiz time (e.g. 1.5x), select the
