[ARCHIVED] Quiz Exemption: How do I assign a quiz for everyone except for 1 person?

[sbevier]

I have a teacher that is assigning a quiz to an entire section. However, 1 student will not be taking it until a later date. We don't want that single student to have access to the quiz at all (she's afraid of the student getting in, taking pictures, etc.). How do we assign a quiz to all but 1? We do NOT want to individually type every persons name except this 1 student. Thank you!!

Thanks for your question. In Canvas terms this is called a differentiated assignment. Basically you are assigning the quiz to everyone for one date/time interval and then 1 students another date time interval.

• How to assign a quiz to 1 student

• First, access the desired quiz or assignment.
• Then click the edit button on the top right.
• Once you’re in the edit page, scroll down to the “Assign” section of the Quiz/Assignment and click the “+ Add” which will open up a new “Assign to” section. [Make sure not to delete the “Everyone/Everyone Else” in the “assign to” text field.]
• Then click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps,
