    Article summary

    Individual students may have specific needs or encounter situations that necessitate tailored actions from their lecturer. clickUP Ultra supports these needs through accommodations, exceptions, and exemptions.

    Definitions
    • Accommodations are set for individual students who need additional time for all due dates or time-limited assessments, as specified by a doctor and the Disability unit. Read more...
    • Exceptions are set for an individual student where special circumstances require additional attempts, rescheduling due dates, or extended access for a specific assessment.
    • Exemptions are set when a student is excused from an assessment and the marks should not be included in gradebook calculations.

    The video below shows you how to add exceptions, exemptions, accommodations and delete assessment attempts of a student.

    • rescheduled due dates, or
    • extended access.
