TURNITIN FOR FACULTY

Before you can begin using the Turnitin service, you must complete two basic steps:

1. Create a user profile at Turnitin.com. You will be required to provide an email address that will become your Turnitin user name and choose a password for the system.

2. When you login to your account, you must create at least one course account before you can submit papers for review. You can create as many course accounts as you wish. If you plan to only upload the occasional paper that you suspect of plagiarism, a single course account may be adequate. If you are planning to routinely submit a large number of papers to this service, you may want to create a Turnitin course account for each course that you teach.

When you create a class, you will receive a password for that class. If you wish students to submit assignments in that class, you will need to distribute the class enrollment password to your students so that they can join your class.

Within each class you will then need to create one or more assignments. Note that when students are submitting their assignments for review, they can only submit once to each assignment that you create.

The Turnitin Instructor's User Manual provides detailed instructions on how to use Turnitin. The user manuals are available in PDF format.
