This article is intended for instructors looking to use the accommodations feature in Ultra for students who have received an official Accommodation from the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD).
# **Overview**
- In Ultra, instructors can use Accommodations and Exceptions to allow students different assessment conditions then the general class.
- **Accommodations** function as a rule. Once an accommodation is given to a student, that accommodation automatically applies to ALL course assessments.
- There are 2 types of accommodations that can be added for students:
- Time limit accommodation
- Due date accommodation
- Instructors or TAs can add Accommodations for students from the Roster page.
- Accommodations are indicated with a purple flag icon next to the students name.
- **Exceptions** are applied to a specific assessment for a specific student. Please see “[Adding Exceptions in Ultra](https://kb.uconn.edu/space/TL/26482672173/Adding+Exceptions+in+Ultra+Course+View)” for further information.

1. To add a time limit Accommodation, navigate to your course in HuskyCT.
2. Under the **Details and Actions** menu, look for **Roster. **Click **View Everyone in your Course. **
3. Find the student you want to grant a time accommodation for.

6. A new windows will appear to the right titled **Accommodations. **
7. Check the box next to **Time limit Accommodation. **
8. Check either **Custom percentage** or **Unlimited time. **
1. **Custom percentage**: Enter the additional time you want to give the student as a percent. For example, if you want to give an accommodations for time and a half, enter 50%. To allow double the standard time allowed, enter 100%.
2. **Unlimited time**: The student won’t be subject to any timer.
9. Click **Save **
Due Date Accommodations
- Students with a due date accommodation never have their work marked late. When students with accommodations are in a group, all students in that group also receive the accommodation.
- If instructors want to provide an extended/alternative due date, they can use the [Exceptions](https://kb.uconn.edu/space/TL/26482672173/Adding+Exceptions+in+Ultra+Course+View) feature.
- For instructions on adding a due date accommodations, see the steps outlined in the Time Limit Accommodation section above.
How Accommodations interact with Prohibiting Late Submissions
Accommodations generally “override” release conditions. However, if a test settings is set to “Prohibit Late Submissions” and a student requires a time limit accommodation, the test will automatically submit regardless of the accommodation. To avoid this, instructors can provide the student with **a due date and time limit accommodation. **The due date accommodation can be removed at the end of the exam window.
