Steps to Enable a User Override
Locate the Activity: Navigate to your course and click on the specific Assignment, Quiz, or Lesson you wish to open early for the student.
Access Overrides: Click on the More tab in the horizontal navigation menu at the top of the activity page.
Select Overrides: From the dropdown menu, select Overrides.
Add Override: Ensure "User overrides" is selected in the dropdown (it is usually the default) and click the Add user override button.
Search for the Student: In the Override user field, type the student’s name and select them from the list.
Adjust the Dates: Change the Allow submissions from or Open the quiz date and time to the student's required start date.
Save: Scroll to the bottom and click Save.
Key Considerations for Early Access
Restricted Access Settings: If the entire module or activity is hidden behind "Restrict Access" settings (e.g., it requires a previous task to be finished), the User Override for the date will not bypass those completion requirements. You may need to manually mark previous items as complete for that student.
Visibility: Ensure the activity itself is Shown on the course page. If the activity is hidden from everyone, the override will not make it visible to the specific student.
Multiple Students: If you have several students who need the same early access, you can click Save and enter another override to repeat the process quickly.
