This staff guide provides the steps for viewing and applying accommodations, exceptions and exemptions in Grade Centre
Accommodations are applied to a student to make a rule for all due date accommodations, meaning a specific students with a due date accommodation will never have their work marked late. For group assessments, this accommodation applies to all participant members of the group.;
How to apply accommodations for an individual student:
- Accommodations are usually applied via the Class Register section for course level accommodations.
- Apply to individual students via the Assignment Settings (for RAPS), accessed via the submissions area in the Grade Centre List View.
- Via the Grade Centre Grid View described below.
For a quick overview of the new layout, watch this video guide on the new Accommodations workflow [2 mins, created by Blackboard].
