Checking your submission and the Digital Receipt

For Students Last updated: 06. 09. 2026

How to check that the assignment really was submitted

After a successful submission, Turnitin displays the details of the submission. In a standard assignment, a row appears with the title, the status, and the date and time of the submission.

Submission confirmation with status, date and time
  • Check that the submission status and the date and time are shown.
  • Save the Digital Receipt if it is available. You also receive the receipt by e-mail, so check your mailbox.
  • Save the Submission ID. Together with the Digital Receipt, it is proof that the submission was made.
  • If needed, download a copy of the submitted file and check that it is the correct one.
