This Information is Intended for: Instructors
Created: 12/18/2024 Last Updated: 12/18/2024

If your student has a quiz attempt in progress, but was kicked out of the quiz before they had a chance to submit, they should be able to return to their quiz attempt to submit it once more. 

However, if there is an end date on the quiz, or a time limit, students will be unable to access that attempt to submit. In this scenario, the instructor has the ability to find the attempt in progress and submit it on behalf of the student. 

Finding Quiz Attempts In Progress

To find a quiz attempt in progress, select the arrow next to the specific quiz and choose Grade.
