From September 26th 2023, instructors can no longer upload assignment submissions on behalf of non-enrolled students.
This particular workflow was accessible only to instructors using Turnitin via turnitin.com and turnitinuk.com or to those not utilizing a Learning Management System (LMS). This decision aims to simplify user account and license management.
Going forward, all submissions will require an association with an enrolled student. Instructors can still continue to submit on behalf of an enrolled student by following the guidance here.
Please view our instructor FAQs provided below:
How can I spot check a paper without having to add a student?
Within the Instructor homepage, you should have the option of "Quick Submit" where you can spot check a paper without the need for a student to be enrolled. To submit via Quick Submit, please see our guides here. If you do not see the Quick Submit option, please activate it using our guides here.
What happens if my student does not have access to an email account?
We recommend enrolling the student using a pseudo email address with the student’s name, school enrollment year and school name as an identifier e.g. studentnameandenrolyear@institutionsname.com once enrolled in the class, this student will then show up in the drop-down to submit on behalf of the student. We recommend using the student's name and enrollment year as new students may enroll year-on-year with the same name. This helps keep the user unique.
What can I do if my student is unable to enroll in the class before the assignment deadline?
As an instructor you can enroll the students in the class using these guides and make a submission on their behalf, please see this guidance.
What happens to submitted files that were not associated with an enrolled student that were made before September 26th 2023?
Submissions made on behalf of non-enrolled students prior to September 26th will still be available.
Note: If you need to increase your student license limit due to this change, the Turnitin account administrator at your institution will need to contact your Turnitin account manager.
