Enabling Turnitin for an Assignment
Turnitin can be enabled in a new or existing Assignment in your course. Once enabled, all future submissions will be processed by the Turnitin originality checking service. If files were previously submitted to the Assignment before the tool was enabled, students will need to resubmit their papers in order to generate a similarity report.
Important Note: When enabling Turnitin for assignments in your course, it is highly recommended that include text in your course syllabus to notify students that you will be using this originality checking service for written work.
Any questions or concerns relating to the use of this tool can be directed to the campus Academic Integrity Committee.
This guide outlines the process for enabling Turnitin within the settings in an existing assignment. For assistance creating a new Assignment activity in your course, please refer to the Creating an Assignment help page.
