Time Limit PLUS | INTEGRAL 

Basic Time Limit Settings

If you select "No Limit," the assignment will remain untimed, and students can access the assignment until it is hidden.
If you select “Limited,” additional options will appear. You can set the timer (in hours and minutes) for the amount of time students have once they open the assignment. The timer will continue running regardless of whether students log out or become inactive.  For example, if a student opens a timed assignment and then either logs out or closes their computer, the timer will keep running in the background until time is up.
In the student view, students will see a icon for any timed assignments, as well as the amount of time given for the assignment.
After a student clicks “Open Assignment,” they will see the assignment details and have the option to “Start Assignment Now." Once they start the assignment, they cannot pause the timer.
While working on their timed assignment, students will receive updated timing notifications.
Once time has run out, a student can no longer access the assignment unless the teacher gives them additional time.

Manage Extra Time

You can allocate additional time per student to meet individual accommodations or needs. To customize how much time a student initially has to complete an assignment, click “Manage extra time."
Next, select the drop-down menu next to the student's name. DeltaMath will remember your preferences for this assignment and all future timed assignments (until you change the setting).  Once you are done, click “Back to Assignment and Save Changes.”   Example: In the example in this screenshot, the original assignment has a time limit of 1 hour.
Chris was given an extra time factor of “Times 1.5.” When Chris opens his assignment, he will see that he has 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the assignment.
Edgar was given an extra time factor of “Times 2.” When Edgar opens his assignment, he will see that he has 2 hours to complete the assignment.

Restrict Other Assignments

When setting a time limit, the option to "Restrict Other Assignments" will appear.
If you select “Yes” for “Restrict Other Assignments," students will not be able to access any other DeltaMath assignments until they have finished the timed assignment. If they attempt to navigate to their homepage, they will receive a notice that they are restricted.
If the student finishes early (and the settings are configured to restrict other assignment), they will have the option to click “End Assignment Early."
