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 .

Changing to the instructor user type

You can be an instructor, as well as an administrator on any Turnitin account. To access the instructor homepage, you will need to change your user type. This will allow you to add a class, create assignments, and submit papers to Turnitin.

The user type is displayed at the top right of the page. Click on the user type drop down menu and select Instructor.
The view of Turnitin will change to the instructor homepage. You can repeat this process to change between Administrator, Instructor and Student.
