   • Type in the multiplied time they will have in the Multiplier box
   • Type in the amount of extra time they will have in the Extra Time box

Whichever box you choose to type in will automatically update the other two boxes. Additionally, if you don't wish to assign a time limit to your student's with accommodations, you can select No Time Limit. 

If you also wish to change the behavior of the quiz when time limits are exceeded, select the checkbox for Override behavior when time limit is exceeded. Then choose any of the below time limit options:

Automatically submit the quiz attempt (Default Setting)- When the time limit expires the student's attempt will automatically be submitted, preventing them from continuing or making further edits to their submission.

Flag as "exceeded time limit" and allow the learner to continue working- This will allow the student to continue working on their attempt, however when they finish, the instructor will be able to see the amount of time the student exceeded the limit by when reviewing attempts.
