Submitting to Turnitin is the same idea everywhere: find the assignment, upload, confirm, keep the receipt.

Steps

  1. Open the assignment in Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, Teams or Turnitin.com.
  2. Choose Upload or Submit and select your DOCX or PDF.
  3. Check the preview shows the right file.
  4. Confirm and submit.
  5. Save the digital receipt with your submission ID.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Uploading the wrong version (keep one "FINAL" file).
  • Image-only PDFs or protected files (file rules).
  • Leaving it to the last minute; queues slow down near deadlines.
  • Submitting a draft to a storing assignment, which will match your final.
