Legacy Portal: Manage Accommodation Rules

Accommodation Rules are assigned to individual Exam-Takers to provide them additional accommodations during their exams including increased time, spell check, or non-secure settings. When an accommodation is assigned to an Exam-Taker, it does not affect the security options or features for all other Exam-Takers in the course. 

To assign accommodation rules, accommodation groups must first be established for the account. Then Exam-Takers are assigned to groups that specify assessment rules.

Note: Accommodation rules will apply to all assessments taken by the selected exam-takers.
