What is Turnitin?

Answer

Turnitin is software that is integrated into WorldClassRoom (Canvas) and can be used by instructors to check for potential plagiarism in an assignment. Students do not have to submit their assignments separately to Turnitin as it is integrated into select assignments. Not every assignment will have Turnitin enabled. Students do not have individual access to Turnitin software. For questions on how to submit assignments to Turnitin please consult the guide located on the "Writing Assistance" page in every course in WorldClassRoom.

Students seeking assistance revising writing assignments or help quoting and paraphrasing should consult with the Reeg Academic Center-Writing Support (linked below). For citation help, students can contact a research librarian or work with the Writing Center.

Faculty members, please consult the Turnitin - Setting Up in Canvas page (linked below) for help.
