To allow students to self-enroll in a Turnitin class, instructors must provide them with two specific credentials: a Class ID and an Enrollment Key.
For instructors: Managing your class credentials
As an instructor, you are responsible for generating and distributing these credentials to your students.
Class ID: This is a unique, automatically generated number. You can find it on your main instructor homepage under the Class ID column, directly next to your class name.
Enrollment Key: This is a unique, automatically generated password. You can view it by visiting the class homepage and selecting the View Enrollment Key button. Enrollment keys are valid for 14 days, and they can be regenerated by selecting the Generate new key button.
đź”’ Security best practice: Never post your Class ID and Enrollment Key on a publicly accessible website. To ensure only your students join the class, we highly recommend generating a new enrollment key once your roster is fully enrolled. This will block any further unwanted enrollments.Â
Note that the key will automatically expire after 14 days, at which point you will need to regenerate it by following the steps in this guide.
For students: How to get your credentials
If you are a student trying to self-enroll into a Turnitin class, you will need both the Class ID and the Enrollment Key before you can access your assignment.
Contact your instructor: You must request these credentials directly from your instructor, or check your course syllabus/messaging board.
Note: Turnitin Technical Support cannot provide you with a Class ID or Enrollment Key under any circumstances.
