Info

This combination of settings allows students in the exceptions space to take the exam as suchunless the option to not allow students to take the test after the due has passed is checked. In order to allow availability exceptions past the due date, turn off the setting to prevent students from taking the test after the due date. If that setting is off but there is still a due date, turn off the due date setting altogether. Students who take the the test after the due date will have Late marked as a notation to their attempt. For this reason, you may decide to remove the due date entirely. Additionally, test availability can be modified to deny access to the exam to any students not included in the availability exceptions.
