Canvas - Respondus Accommodations (Printing a Quiz)

Printing a Quiz for an Accommodated Student

If you are using Canvas's “New Quizzes” feature, you can print a quiz directly for a student who cannot use Respondus Lockdown Browser. Note that Classic Quizzes does not have a dedicated print option, making this process less straightforward than in New Quizzes.

A note on "One Question at a Time" If your quiz is set to display one question at a time, this may interfere with printing. Before printing, check your quiz settings and temporarily disable this option if it is enabled. You can re-enable it after printing is complete.

Step 1: Accessing the Print Option

  1. Access your Canvas course

  2. Select "Quizzes" from your course navigation

  3. Find the quiz you need to print

  4. Select the three dot menu to the right of the quiz title

  5. Select "Build"

  6. Select the three dot menu in the upper right of the quiz

  7. Choose “Print Blank Quiz”

  8. A print preview will open in a new window

  9. Review the preview to confirm all questions are visible and complete

  10. Print or save as a PDF depending on your needs

Classic Quizzes Note: “Classic” Quizzes does not have a built in print option. Your best option is to open the quiz in preview mode and use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P). Results may vary depending on your browser and quiz formatting, so always preview carefully before printing.

Pro tip (totally optional)

Printing a “Classic” quiz

If your browser's print function doesn't produce a clean result for a Classic quiz, you have a couple of options. The simplest solution is to convert your Classic quiz to a New Quizzes quiz, which has a dedicated print feature.

If you want to keep using “Classic” Quizzes for the rest of your students but still need the New Quizzes print feature, consider this workaround: make a copy of the Classic quiz and convert only the copy to New Quizzes. Use that copy solely for printing purposes. Before printing, review the converted quiz carefully to make sure all questions transferred correctly.

Finally, be sure to rename the copy clearly so you don't confuse it with the original quiz down the road. If you no longer need the New Quizzes quiz copy feel free to delete it.
