# Schedule

This article shows you how to schedule an assessment.

Set when an assessment is available to students, along with time limits, attempts, and individual extensions.

## Accessing Schedule

1. Click **Assessments** in the left menu
2. Click the desired assessment
3. Click **Schedule** in the left menu

## Configure Options

* **Time Limit:** Set a time limit for the assessment.
* **Number of Attempts:** Set a maximum number of attempts for the assessment.

{% hint style="info" %}
Leaving the number of attempts blank will allow unlimited attempts for the assessment.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
[**File Upload**](/v1/examind-platform/build/assessments/assessment-types/file-upload-assessments.md) **assessments have no time limit** — because the work is done outside EXAMIND, they're governed by the availability window instead, and the time limit option doesn't appear for them.

For any **untimed** assessment, students see the **due date** (for example, "Due: Sep 3, 23:59") rather than a countdown, until the last hour before it closes.
{% endhint %}

* **Score to Keep:** Determines which score is recorded when a student attempts the assessment multiple times. This is also the score that gets sent to the LMS when posting grades.
  * **Last:** The score from the student's most recent attempt is kept.
  * **Highest:** The highest score across all of the student's attempts is kept.

## Availability

Click **ADD AVAILABILITY** to add an availability window. Availability windows can be set for the following:

* **Everyone:** Set the availability window for every student in the Roster.
* **Section:** Set the availability window for a specific section.
* **Student:** Set the availability window for a specific student.

{% hint style="info" %}
The most specific rule applies. For example, if you set an availability window for everyone to be January 1 from 1:00-2:00 pm, and another availability window for a specific student from 3:00-5:00 pm, then that specific student would only have an availability window from 3:00-5:00 pm.
{% endhint %}

## Extensions

Click **ADD EXTENSION** to add an extension for a specific student.

* **Time Limit:** Sets a new time limit for the specified student.
* **Number of Attempts:** Sets a new number of attempts for the specified student.

{% hint style="info" %}
Extensions are automatically applied if they have been configured in your LMS or in the Roster menu in EXAMIND. They will display as "extended by #x" or "extended by X minutes".
