Your Turnitin guidance is moving!
We’re migrating our content to a new guides site. We plan to fully launch this new site in July. We are making changes to our structure that will help with discoverability and content searching. You can preview the new site now. To help you get up to speed with the new guidance structure, please visit our orientation page .
Submitting or resubmitting on behalf of a student
These directions are for the LTI 1.3 integration. If you are still using the LTI 1.1 integration, please refer to these directions as well. We have noted below where the two integrations' features differ. In addition, you might want to reach out to your LMS admin about updating to the LTI 1.3 integration.
The following information will help you submit or resubmit a student's paper to Turnitin through the LTI inbox. Before you proceed, we advise checking that the file you'd like to submit will be accepted.
With the LTI 1.1 integration, instructors can only resubmit on behalf of a student.
To resubmit on behalf of a student, please ensure that resubmissions are enabled for the assignment, that the student has already submitted to the assignment, and that the student's initial submission is visible in the Assignment Inbox.
If the assignment is set to anonymous, submitting on behalf of a student will not be possible in order to maintain anonymity.
