Instructions for Blackboard Learn 9.1: Setting Availability Exceptions

Availability exceptions can be used to quickly and easily accommodate students who need more time to complete an assessment or who need to access an assessment at a different time.

With Edit Mode ‘ON’, navigate to the list of assessments in your course, click the drop-down menu on the assessment that you want to edit and choose ‘Edit the Test Options.’

Note:

We recommend that you NOT use the ‘Force Completion’ feature as it can cause difficulties if students are on an unstable network connection.
