Missing Time Limit Multiplier on Dropdown

[marisa_m_delsav]

We just shifted quarters at our school at I went to add a time limit multiplier for a student who just received 1.5 ET accommodations and that option is no longer there. There is a mention now for students who already have ET that it is part of course level settings but I can't find it there. Anyone have this issue? Is it a system change or just my school?

Hi @marisa_m_delsav,

It looks like you're in the moderate area for a single quiz, which is slightly different form accommodations (which are for all new quizzes in a course).  The accommodations is where you'll have the option for a time multiplier, since every quiz may be a different length.  I do think the UI for this has had a recent change, so you may want to quickly review the  How do I add accommodations for a student in New Q... - Instructure Community - 1092  guide for the current steps to add an accommodation for a student.

I'm going to mark this as the solution, but please feel free to come back and let us know if this doesn't actually answer your question.

The article you linked to,  How do I add accommodations for a student in New Q... - Instructure Community - 1092 , seems to have been recently updated.  This is a change in the workflow and very bad timing just before the end of the semester!

The way we used to add time was to go to Moderate in any quiz, select the pencil icon by a student's name, and select time multiplier. It would apply to all quizzes in the course.

The new workflow is to go to Moderate in any quiz, select the student's name, and select time multiplier. It will apply to all quizzes in the course.

This is the kind of small change that is frustrating and unnecessary.
