Q: There was a power outage in my school’s town yesterday and I got a ton of emails from students who weren’t able to complete their assignment. How do I give an extension?
A: Thanks for reaching out! The easiest thing to do in this case is to use the “Exception” tool in ALEKS to give a Class-level extension to all students. I like doing this from the Assignments page: hover over the “Assignments” menu > manage “Assignments” > check the box next to the assignment or assignments you need to extend > then select “Exceptions” > using this tool you can provide an extension to “All Students” and set the new due date.
We recommend using this tool for all due-date adjustments once an assignment has opened.
Here is a video walking through the process!
