How do I submit a Turnitin assignment?

Please note that Turnitin assignments must be smaller than 100MB.  We recommend keeping your file under 50MB to ensure the submission is successful.

Please ensure you read the other file type / size requirements before submitting a Turnitin assignment, remember only one document can be submitted (subsequent uploads will replace your first draft).

If you don't comply with these requirements, you won't be able to submit.

  • Please use Google Chrome via a PC for submitting your assignment
  • Note: It is not possible to submit on mobile devices
  • Note: we advise that you don't put any personal details within your submission, except for your username.

You can watch the video guide or follow the steps below:

  1. In your module, click on the Turnitin submission link. Your lecturer can tell you where it is.

 

  1. The Turnitin assignment opens.

 

  • Please read the assignment instructions provided by your lecturer.
