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.

• 1. 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.’
• 2. Scroll down to section 3, ‘Test Availability Exceptions,’ and click ‘Add User or Group.’
• 3. Find the student who needs an exception and select the checkbox to the left of their name. Click ‘Submit’ to confirm your selection.
• 4. Edit the settings for the student or group that you have selected:

Allow more than one attempt. Allow more time. Change the availability dates.

• Note:

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

• 5. Click ‘Submit’ to save your settings.
