Multiple-file upload on behalf of a student

The multiple file upload submission option allows you to upload multiple files simultaneously.

  1. On the class homepage, click on the More actions link next to the Paper assignment that you would like to submit to and select Submit paper.

  2. Select Multiple File Upload from the Submit: drop down menu. Single file upload is the default submission type.

  3. Click on Choose File and locate the file from your computer to attach to the File Submission Preview list.

    Each file must be less than 100 MB.

    If your file contains images, you may remove the images or save the file as a rich text or plain text file to make the file smaller. If your file is a PDF and exceeds the 100 MB restriction: (1) copy the text in the document, (2) change the upload process to 'copy and paste', and (3) paste the text in the body field.

    • The maximum paper length for each file is 800 pages
    • All file types are allowed and can receive marks in Online Grading and PeerMark. However, Turnitin will only generate Similarity Reports for the following file types: Microsoft Word; PowerPoint; WordPerfect; PostScript; PDF; HTML; RTF; OpenOffice (ODT); Hangul (HWP); Google Docs; Slides; and Sheets (submitted via the Google Drive submission option); and plain text files with at least 20 words of text will be eligible to receive Similarity Reports.
