Can instructors check a paper for plagiarism without submitting it to an assignment?

The Quick Submit feature allows instructors to submit papers and receive Similarity Reports without creating a class or an assignment. This is ideal for instructors who would like to use Turnitin to spot-check submissions and have these papers in electronic format.

Quick Submit is an option that needs to be first activated through the User Info tab at the top of the instructor homepage. Please review the following guide to activate Quick Submit: Activating Quick Submit.

Once activated, instructors who want to submit papers via this option will be asked to select which database the submission needs to be checked against and will also have the choice of repository. Please make sure to select no repository each time you make a new submission via Quick Submit if you do not want these papers stored in the Turnitin repository. Please also review the following guide to make a submission: Submitting via Quick Submit.

Note: The Quick Submit feature is only available via the Turnitin website. If you are using a Learning Management System (LMS) to access Turnitin, you will need to log in to the Turnitin website directly to use Quick Submit. However, native access may be restricted for some LMS users; if so, please discuss this with your Turnitin account administrator.
