Accommodation and Assessment Exception in Ultra
This page explains how instructors can set up assessment accommodations and exceptions for students in the Ultra Course View.
Accommodation
In the Ultra Course View, instructors can provide assessment accommodations for students who have requested them through the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources. Accommodations, such as extended exam time or exemptions from due dates on all assessments, can be set up in the student's profile within the Roster. Once established, these accommodations remain in effect for all the assessments for the entire semester.
Steps to set accommodations for a student across all assessments:
- Navigate to the Content tab from the course navigation bar.
- Select Roster from the Details and Actions section on the right side of the page.
- Locate the student’s name.
- Select the three-dot icon on the right side of the student’s name.
- Choose Accommodations from the menu.
- Configure the necessary accommodations, such as Due Date Accommodation and/or Time Limit Accommodation, based on the student's needs.
Assessment Exception
Instructors can grant an individual student an exception for a specific assessment in response to special circumstances. Exceptions may include additional attempts, rescheduled due dates, or extended access. The exception can be given even if the assessment remains hidden from other students.
Steps to grant an exception for a student on a specific assessment:
- Go to the Content tab in the course navigation.
- Locate and open the desired assessment (test or assignment).
- Navigate to the Submissions tab within the assessment page.
- Identify the student’s name.
- Select the three-dot icon located on the far right of the student's row.
- Choose Add or Edit Exceptions to open the Exceptions panel.
- Select the appropriate exception options, such as allowing additional submission attempts, modifying the due date for an individual student, or adjusting access dates.
