## How do I create custom settings for students to access an assignment?

 

To customize a student's access to an assignment:

- Locate the appropriate assignment
- ➡️ **Action **dropdown
  
  ![ExPrep Portal highlighting Assignments page, identifying an assignment, action menu, edit.](https://support.excelpreparation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-15-2024-08-02-00-5950-PM.png?width=670&height=401&name=image-png-Jul-15-2024-08-02-00-5950-PM.png)
- ➡️ **Edit**
- ➡️The assignment settings window will appear. Scroll down and select **Customize Student**  
    
  **![Assignment settings highlighting "customize student access" button.](https://support.excelpreparation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-15-2024-08-01-04-8846-PM.png?width=670&height=282&name=image-png-Jul-15-2024-08-01-04-8846-PM.png)**
- **➡️Access **from the right hand side near the assignment time slots. 
    - A pop-up window will appear that lists all of the students assigned.
- ➡️Locate the student at hand by scrolling through the list or using the filter options at the top. 
- ➡️After locating the correct student, select **Manage.**
- The customized access window will appear where you can 
    - **Deny Access- **The student will no longer have access to the assignment regardless of the dates listed on the assignment.
    - **Extend Access**- The student will have access indefinitely until this extension is removed.
    - **Time Limit-** Allows you to set a custom time limit for the assignment.
    - **Allowed Attempts**-  Allows you to set a custom number of attempts for the assignment that will pertain to the particular student.

#### Important Notes:

- ⚠️Customizing specific student access will override any current setting for the exam/assignment.
- ⚠️If you click deny or extend access, the student will have this specific access until you manually remove the access option selected. For example, extending access will allow a student to access and submit to a specific assignment until the access is updated or removed.
- ⚠️For students that need to be accommodated with additional time for an exam, you can customize their student access to provide a specific amount of time.
