Special access grants students access to items in BOLT outside of the Start/Due/End dates. For example, if a student needs additional time on a quiz, you can set up special access for that student to grant them additional time on the quiz. If a student needs additional time on an assignment, you can set a different due date for them.

   Note: Be sure all students are displayed by adjusting the number of users per page selector, otherwise you may not see the student you are attempting to provide special access.
