Brightspace: How to Set Time Accommodations for Students

  1. A pop-up window will appear. Select Modify Time Limit.

  1. You can adjust the Quizzes time limit a multiplier (for example, 1.5 will grant time and a half to the student) or by granting extra time on all quizzes.
  2. When you have finished updating the student's accommodations, click the blue button Save.
  3. An icon will appear next to the student's name in your classlist to signify that they have an accommodation applied.
