Add an override to a quiz activity

Introduction

It’s easy to configure your Moodle quizzes to allow individuals or groups to access them at different times or for different amounts of time. This can be useful in several ways, such as:

to meet accommodations for extra-time or extra quiz attempts
to open and close a quiz at different times for groups or sections

Step 1

In your Moodle course, click on your quiz activity

Step 2

Click the gear shaped icon on your quiz (1) to open the Quiz Administration options and then click User Overrides from the options that appear (2). Note: if you put students into a Group, you can use the Group overrides option just above it.
