Assessment Extensions

Overview

In cases when a Student fails an assessment and you allow a reassessment or an extension to give the Student a chance to pass the assessment, Paradigm supports your process by providing you with an avenue where you can record your reassessment or extension details until the Student can finally pass the assessment.
