To view a the access code while you type it, check Show access code.

When Time limit is turned on, you can set a time limit for an assessment. Enter the time limit using the Hours and Minutes fields.

NOTE: The time limit begins when the student starts the quiz by clicking "Begin Quiz". Once started, the timer will continue even if the student loses their internet connection, or logs out of Canvas.

A quiz is automatically submitted when the time limit expires, or on the "Until" date and time -- whichever comes first.

When Time limit is turned off, there will be no limit on the amount of time a student can take to complete the quiz, up until the "Until" date and time is reached.

When Allow multiple attempts is turned off, a student can take the assessment only once.

If Allow multiple attempts is turned on, and Allowed attempts is set to Unlimited, students will be able to take the assessment an unlimited number of times.

To place a limit on the number of attempts, chose Limited, then select the number of attempts you want to allow.

When Require time between attempts is checked, students will be required to wait a set amount of time before attempting the assessment again. Select the days, hours, and minutes to set how long students must wait before they can begin a new attempt.

Turn on Hide results from students to set limits on what students can see after they submit the quiz.

If this switch is turned on and no boxes are checked, students will not be able to see anything except a quiz submission confirmation and their grade (if the grade is posted).

Note:  Students can still see their assessment grades in the Gradebook when the "Restrict student result view" option is enabled. To completely hide grades from students, you will need to enable a Manual posting policy in the Gradebook.

You also have the option to display some quiz information to students, and hide other information. You can also choose to release information at pre-selected times. (For example, you might allow students to see their own responses immediately, but reveal correct answers to them a few days after the quiz due date.) For more information about these options, please see the Canvas guides (How do I manage quiz results in New Quizzes?) and the video below.
