Moodle: Activities & Resources: Quiz User Override Settings


The User Override setting provides instructors with the ability to allow for student accommodations and increased time allotments for specific users in their Moodle course. If instructors need to add the same accommodation to multiple students, they can either do so individually for each student or use the quiz Group overrides settings. To perform a group override, follow the same instructions below but select Group overrides in the admin block (step 4).

How to Enable the User Override Setting: 

1. Select the course where your desired quiz is located.

2. Click on the quiz.
