Turnitin
 

Turnitin.com is an online resource for plagiarism prevention. St. Edward's University subscribes only to the plagiarism prevention service from Turnitin.com. If you wish students to submit papers to Turnitin.com for checking you will need to create a course on Turnitin.com to which you or your students can submit papers. Papers submitted to Turnitin are compared against billions of Internet documents, an archived copy of the Internet, Turnitin's local databases of submitted student papers, and the ProQuest commercial database. Every paper submitted to Turnitin becomes part of its database.

If you are using Turnitin from within your Blackboard course please see Using Turnitin via Blackboard.

To start using Turnitin.com:

  1. Email Instructional Computing at instcom@aux.stedwards.edu and request the SEU Account Number and password for Turnitin.com.
  2. You visit www.turnitin.com, create a user profile (just like an email account) and setup the class, creating an ID and enrollment password for your students. See the Instructor Quickstart Guide for complete instructions.

Students may either submit papers electronically to you which you then submit to Turnitin.com or you may give the students instructions on submitting papers directly to Turnitin.com via the class ID and enrollment password you have set up.


*Warning: If you submit papers on Turnitin.com, please make sure that you only submit the paper once. Submitting a paper more than once causes problems in the system, which prevents reports from being generated. Please submit once and be patient for reports to generate. Reports may take up to 5 minutes to generate.

See the complete Instructor Guide to Using Turnitin.com.

If you need assistance please contact Instructional Computing at instcom@aux.stedwards.edu.
