Grant Special Access to Individuals
If students require an extension to submit an assignment, which has a different due date than the unit cohort, they can be granted Special Access. Students granted special access will see their individual due dates within their CloudDeakin view. Special Access can be granted to an individual student, a section, or a group.
Note: If Special Access is granted to one or more Students within a CloudDeakin site assignment folder or quiz, Unit Staff will see numerous dates within the Calendar widget of their CloudDeakin site; this is expected functionality, however each student with Special Access will only see their updated and relevant due date for an assignment or quiz.
Steps
- From within your CloudDeakin site, select Assessment from the top navigation bar, then select Assignments.
- Select the Assignment for which Special Access is required, by selecting the down arrow next the the assignment name and select Edit Assignment from the drop down menu.
