This article covers the options instructors/TAs have for managing student access to content or assessments.
# **Overview**
In Ultra, student access to course items can set by adjusting the visibility status. By default, material is set to hidden.
- Course items can be either:
- **Visible** = students can see and interact with the course item
- **Hidden** = students cannot see or interact with the course item
- Instructors/TAs can also use Release Conditions to specify more advanced conditions for access.

# **Release Conditions**
Release Conditions take the place of both the Adaptive Release and the Time and Date Restrictions found in Original Course View.
1. Navigate to your course in HuskyCT.
2. Find the piece of content or content folder you want to set the conditions on.
3. Under the item’s name, click the drop-down arrow next to **Visible to students** or **Hidden from students.**
4. Click **Release Conditions.**
5. A new window will appear on the right hand side of the screen titled **Release Conditions**.
6. Set any desired criteria.
1. **Select Members**: Allows instructors to limit visibility to a specific student or group of students. Check the box next to **Specific members or groups** to enforce this setting.
2. **Date/Time**: Allows instructors to limit visibility based on an Access from and Access until date/time setting. Check the box next to **Date/Time** to enforce this setting.
3. **Activity**: Allows instructors to limit visibility based on a student’s performance on another gradebook item. Check the box next to **Activity **to enforce this setting.
7. Click **Save. **
# **Criteria for Release Conditions**
Membership
The membership field allows instructors to limit access to an item or assignment to a particular student or group of students. By default, content is visible to all students. This is the equivalent of the Membership criteria in HuskyCT Original Course View.
After checking **Specific members or groups**, and instructor can specify the members or groups who should have access to the item.
Access From/Access Until
The Access from/until criteria allow instructors to restrict access to an items or assignment within a specific time frame. Setting an Access from and/or Access until date/time will make content available after the access from date/time and remain available until the Access until time/date.
**The Access until date must be *at least *1 minute ***after***** **the specified due date.
Activity
The **Activity **criteria allows instructors to set access to a course item/assessment based on performance on a specified course assessment.
- First select a gradable item (i.e., a test, assignment, grade column etc.)
- Then, specify the grade/performance requirement that needs to be attained by a student on that gradable item in order to gain access.

| --- | --- |
| Custom Range | Attempt Submitted |
| 
With **Custom Range**, instructors input the minimum and maximum points or percentage that students must achieve to gain access. | 
**Attempt Submitted** grants access to students after they have submitted an attempt on the Gradable item.
- **At this time, this criteria is only applicable to **Tests **and **Assignments**. Discussion and Journal posts cannot be used to trigger an attempt. |
Inherited Conditions
Assignments within learning modules or folders will inherit the release conditions from the parent module or folder.
Content Apperance
> ⚠️ These settings are only available if the Membership criteria is set to **All Members**, and either the **Date/Time** and/or **Activity **criteria are set.
The When will content appear menu allows instructor to customize what will happen before the release conditions are met.
If the **Show** option is selected, content will be visible, but not accessible to students.
If the **Hide** option is selected, the content will **not** appear for students until the Release Conditions are met. This is similar to how Adaptive Release functioned in Original Course View.
