After you have entered your answer key, you'll be taken to the 'Customize Schedule' page where you'll set the times in which the students can access the online assessment.

Select time limit, activation date, and deadline

The 'Activation time' is when students will be granted access to view and start their assessment. The 'Deadline' is when the assessment closes, meaning students can no longer access their assessment or submit their answers.

You’ll have the option to turn the test into a timed assessment. Under 'Time limit', select the hours and minutes that your students will be given to complete their submission. If you don't want to set a time limit, select the 'Disable time limit' checkbox.

Edit Assessment Timing

  1. Click 'Edit Assessment Timing' from your course dashboard.

💡If the assessment is live for students, only the deadline and activation date can be extended. Students will be notified, and timer automatically updated, once schedule has been edited.
