Can I do it?

Yes! You may have been contacted by Accessibility Resources about a student with an approved accommodation, or you may just need to reopen a test for one particular student. You can allow specific students to have extra attempts at a quiz in a few easy steps!

This tip aligns with sections 3 and 4 of the BTC Course Design Tool. Specifically, the feature helps to provide “accessible material and technology with equivalent alternatives” and “allow flexibility as appropriate”.
