Students with an extended time accommodation are eligible for more time on exams.
Student actions
Student accommodation information will display automatically in the Proctored Exams Portal once the student does the following:
- Open MyUI.
- Click to open the Student Information/Courses and Grades tab.
- Open Course Accommodations.
- Select accommodations to be used for a given section.
- Click "Generate LOA" to save the selection.
Encourage students to complete this process early in the semester. If the student is struggling to add accommodations in MyUI, contact sds-exams@uiowa.edu
Instructor actions
- Login to your ICON site, click on Quizzes, and select the desired exam.
- Click on “Moderate This Quiz” (see gear icon on the top right side of the screen).*
- Locate the student’s name in the list that appears (by scrolling or searching) and click on the pencil icon.
- A pop-up window appears that is called “Student Extensions.”
- Look for the row “Extra time on every attempt.” Beneath that row it says “everyone already gets XXX minutes.” In the empty box, type, in minutes, the number of additional minutes the student will get.
- To calculate the number of additional minutes for 50% more time, take the number of minutes everyone else gets and divide by half. Round up if it is a decimal and type that number in the box.
- To calculate the number of additional minutes for 100% more time, take the number of minutes everyone else gets and type that number in the box.
- If you have an Iowa City test center version and an Honorlock version of the online exam, be sure to repeat this process for both versions.
*Moderate This Quiz is only visible if the exam is published.
