  1. Click on the exam you created.                                                                                                                   
  2. Click on the “Overrides” field on the left menu and then click on the “Add user override” button.
  3. Below are the following options under the “Override” title.
    1. Override user:Input the name of the student / students for which the customization of the exam will be made in the "Search" field (e.g. keeping the exam time longer for some students).
    2. Require password:You can have the student use a password while taking the exam.
    3. Open the quiz:You can input the start date for the student to do the quiz at a specified interval.
