Purpose: This article explains how professors can add another attempt on a quiz or exam in Canvas. You may want to add an extra attempt if the student is given a make-up quiz or if they experienced technical difficulties. LMS Support is able to add additional attempts, however they will not do so without the express direction of the professor.
1. Navigate to the Quiz.
2. On the top right side of the page, click Moderate This Quiz.
3. Find the student's name, then click the pencil icon on the right.
4. Enter 1 in the Extra Attempts field.
5. If the quiz is locked because of the due date, you need to check the box next to Manually unlock and adjust the due date for the student.
6. Click Save.
If you have any other questions regarding editing quizzes, please see our helpdoc: How do I edit quiz settings within Canvas?
Please reach out to lmssupport@masters.edu if you need any assistance.
