Exceptions and Accommodations in Bb

Add Exception

Grades page: select the student submission, open the menu next to the grade pill and select Exceptions. The Edit Submission settings panel opens to add exception. 

Note: If the date/time settings on the assignment or test have made the item no longer available, or the folder where the item lives is no longer available, you will need to re-open it to allow the student to submit another attempt.

Add an exception from the Submission page.

Gradebook Grades view: Select the student’s assessment cell to display the options menu. Then, choose Add or edit exceptions and the Exceptions panel opens.

The assignment menu is displayed, where the second option is "add or edit exceptions".

Deleting Attempts 

While the best practice is to grant the student an additional attempt if needed, you can delete incorrect submissions from the assessment grading section. Open the menu next to the grade pill and select Delete. 

Delete attempt option displayed next to the grade pill in the Submission page.

Add an Accommodation

From Details & Actions in a course, under Roster, select View everyone in your course. On the Roster page, select the three dots and choose Accommodations.

Accommodations option in the menu for a student on Roster page

Select an accommodation for the student:

  • Due date accommodation: Students with a due date accommodation may submit work any time after the due date for no penalty and their work won't be labelled as late in the gradebook.
  • Time limit accommodation: These students have more time to finish their work during timed assessments. You can select Unlimited or specify the percentage of extra time needed to honor this accommodation. NOTE: These accommodations do not apply to discussions. 

If you add a time limit accommodation after students have started submissions, you'll receive a warning that time limits for previously submitted work will update.

Remove accommodations

Time limits — When you delete a time limit accommodation, previously submitted work for timed assessments may then be marked late by the system.

Due dates — If you delete the due date accommodation for a student and the due date has passed for an assessment, the late label is applied.

Accommodations and groups

If students with accommodations are in a group, all students in that group inherit the accommodation for that item. For example, when you create a group assignment, and one group member has a due date accommodation, the group's work isn't marked late if they submit after the due date.
