AsULearn allows you to override selected quiz limits settings for individual students and groups of students. This is very useful when you have a student that needs extended time on a quiz because of a documented Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations or accommodation plan, when a student who needs to take the quiz at a different time because of an excused conflict, or when a section (group) of students in a metacourse needs access to the quiz on a different day/time (instead of making two quizzes, use the same quiz with a group override). The following video walks through adding an override:
