Once you have created a quiz in D2L Brightspace, you can easily edit your quiz settings and adjust your quiz content.

Edit Start Dates, Due Dates, or End Dates

End Date vs. Due Date: The end date indicates when students can no longer start the quiz.  If a due date and end date are both set, the quiz can be started until the end date is reached. Quiz attempts that are submitted after the due date will be flagged with a “late” timestamp.
