Following an assessment, a University Disability Adviser may determine that an additional amount of time is required to be allocated to particular student(s) for class tests which are created as quizzes in Myplace. E.g. 15%, 25% or 50% extra time Example of Adjustment - Additional time for tests/quizzes

Several Potential Solutions... 1.Create more than one version of the quiz; for for each group of students; groups determined by time allocation
