Creating a submission point

The TurnitinUK submission point can be setup in many different ways. In order for the University to support students from a central service, it has been decided that there should be a recommended default setup. These settings are:

• Students can view originality reports to help with referencing skills
• Re-submissions are accepted until the due date (any old submissions are overwritten)
• Late submissions accepted (but marked as late)
• Other settings about how the originality report looks

Example special instruction text can also be found at the bottom of the page.

If you decide to use different options, the overall University support will be different from what you have selected. You will therefore be responsible for making your students aware of any differences and for supporting them in case of difficulties.

Please remember that if you are looking to set up a non-text based submission you might want to look at using the Course Resources assignment tool instead of Turnitin.
