Enable extensions (overrides) and allow quiz reattempts

You can extend the completion date or reopen a quiz to individual students or groups by using User overrides.

You can also use user overrides to grant extensions for Moodle assignments, however, there are more efficient workflows depending on whether you would like to grant extensions for multiple students, groups of students or all students. For more information, see Set up extensions and resubmissions for Moodle assignments.

Automations are in place for Moodle Assignment and Quiz activity types for extensions and Special consideration.  For approved extensions, a student may be entitled to one or more additional quiz attempts.

If allowing students to attempt the quiz after the original deadline is an academic integrity concern, it is recommended to use the Moodle activity settings for special consideration to mark the activity as complex and detail an alternative assessment. These settings provide guidance for the Special Consideration team to process approved Special consideration applications on behalf of the Chief Examiner, if appropriate.  Tips for using Moodle Quiz includes guidance to minimise opportunities for collusion, such as selecting random questions drawn from a comprehensive question bank.
