Plagiarism Detection - Turnitin

Instructors have the option of creating assignments that utilize the plagiarism detection program Turnitin.  If they have opted to enable this feature then you will be required to submit your assignment to Turnitin through the Assignment Submission folder tool.  Enabling this feature is the responsibility of your instructor and if enabled will be done automatically when you submit your file via the submission folder.

Submitting Assignments:  This guide will show you how to submit a file to your instructor using the Assignment Submission Folder tool.

Reviewing Your Turnitin Report:  After submitting your assignment to a turnitin enabled submission folder, you may be able to review the turnitin report.   This guide will show you how to access your turnitin report if available.  This process may take time so if the report does not appear right away we recommend leaving and returning to review it later. Note:  Instructors have the option to display the report to you or not.
