Adjust the time for a student who is writing their test before the Start Date or after the End Date.

If the Due Date, Start Date, and End Date are already set, you will see the associated date and time.

To adjust due date, start date, or end date

1. To change the date and/or time as desired:
   1. Check the appropriate checkbox: Has Due Date, Has Start Date, or Has End Date.
   2. Choose the date from the min-calendar tool or type the date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
   3. Choose the time from the Time combobox or type the time in HH:MM AM/PM format

In Special Access, control how long a student has to complete a test and what the system will do when that time limit is reached.

Override time limit

Use Override time limit to remove or adjust the existing time limit to allow for extra time to complete the quiz.

To override time limit:

1. Check the Override time limit checkbox.
2. Choose Set time limit to enter a New Time Limit or No time limit to remove the time limit.
   1. If Set time limit is selected, choose one of three options to set the new time limit:
      1. Type in the number of minutes in the New Time Limit edit field.
      2. Enter the extra time as 1.5 (time and a half) or 2 (double time) in the Multiplier edit field.
      3. Type in the amount of extra time in minutes in the Extra Time edit field.
         

         

         

Override behaviour when the time limit is exceeded

Use Override behaviour when time limit is exceeded to change the existing ‘When The Time Limit Expires’ behaviour. The current setting is displayed when a time limit is configured.

To override behaviour when the time limit is exceeded:

1. Check the checkbox Override behaviour when time limit is exceeded.
2. Choose from three options:
   1. Automatically submit the quiz attempt to prevent the student from continuing the quiz.
   2. Flag to “exceeded time limit to flag the attempt as exceeding the time limit and allow the learner to continue working will allow the student to continue working on the quiz.
   3. Do nothing: the time limit is ignored to allow the student to continue working on the quiz.
      

      

Use Not required to take this quiz to allow specific students to complete the quiz without the LockDown Browser.

This may be appropriate for students writing in the Test Centre (which is proctored) who are using assistive technology (e.g., Screen Readers, Text-to-Speech, Kurzweil, Read&Write).

While Respondus supports some assistive technology, it modifies how it is accessed and used during a test.

Changing the functionality of assistive technology adds complexity that non-assistive technology users are not subject to. The use of LockDown Browser in this scenario is at your discretion.

To remove the requirement of using Lockdown Browser, select the Not required to take the quiz checkbox.

Students writing in a college Lab or the Test Centre do not have access to a webcam unless they are using their own device with a built-in webcam.

If the entire class is writing on college lab computers, do not enable Respondus Monitor.

When a quiz requires Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam and a student is writing in the Test Centre or on a college lab computer, you have two options:

1. Remove the requirement of using LockDown Browser.
2. In Respondus Settings, set a password and select Allow this exam to additionally be delivered in a proctored lab.

To allow this exam to additionally be delivered in a proctored lab:

1. Access your FanshaweOnline course and select Quizzes from the Evaluations dropdown in the navigation bar.
2. Select the LockDown Browser link.
3. Select the specific quiz’s’ Context menu link.
4. Select Settings.
5. Locate and Respondus Monitor Section and expand Advanced Settings.
6. To give students the option to either take the exam with a webcam or in a proctored testing lab, select Either Respondus Monitor or a proctored lab can be used to take this exam.
   

   

7. Set a password that you will provide to the Test Centre on the cover sheet. This is now the quiz password. If you already set a password for the quiz, make this the same.
   

   

See How does the optional setting in Respondus Monitor work? – Respondus Support for more information.

To override attempts allowed:

1. Select the checkbox Override attempts allowed.
2. Choose the number of Attempts Allowed from the combobox.
3. Select the Apply button.
4. Optionally under Advanced Attempt Conditions:
