Faculty Turnitin Portal
Turnitin can only be used for assignments in a Brightspace course. If you would like to check student work submitted in discussions or by email, you may use the Faculty Turnitin Portal.
The portal has options for submitting work for formative assessment (not submitted to the Turnitin Database) and final assessments (Submitted to the Turnitin Database). Step-by-step instructions for submitting student work are available in the Faculty Turnitin Portal.
Each academic year has a dedicated portal.
Note: The portal will be closed for submissions at the conclusion of the academic year. You will still be able to view any submitted reports for the incomplete period in the following term.
