Description
Turnitin helps verify the originality of assignments.
Files saved as images (e.g., scans or screenshots) in PDF format are not supported and won't generate a similarity report.
However, your professor will still grade your work manually.
Also, when accepting the Turnitin terms, a pop-up window must be allowed in your browser.
Step-by-Step Submission Guide
Write your assignment in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx).
Save it as a PDF directly from Word.
Go to
File→Save As→ ChoosePDF
Submit the file in the Turnitin assignment area.
When asked to accept Turnitin terms, allow pop-ups.
Confirm that the file was submitted successfully.
Helpful Tips
Don’t upload image-based PDFs. Use typed text files.
Switch to Microsoft Edge or another browser if needed.
