Preparing the file<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before uploading, check whether Turnitin can accept your file. For assignments where similarity is checked, the supported formats include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Word (.doc, .docx), PDF, RTF, TXT and ODT,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
PowerPoint (.pptx),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Google Docs through the Google Drive service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What to check<\/th>
Recommendation<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
File size<\/td>
As a rule, less than 100 MB.<\/td><\/tr>
Length<\/td>
At least 20 words and no more than 800 pages for a Similarity Report to be produced.<\/td><\/tr>
PDF<\/td>
The text must be selectable. A scanned PDF that contains only images of the pages may be rejected.<\/td><\/tr>
Protection<\/td>
Do not submit password-protected files.<\/td><\/tr>
Number of files<\/td>
One document is submitted to a standard assignment. You cannot upload several documents or a ZIP archive in a single submission.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Rule:<\/strong> if the course instructor requires a specific format, for example PDF or DOCX, follow their instructions even when Turnitin technically supports other file types as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Submitting the assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the new standard assignment, submission is usually available in the Your work<\/strong> section. You can upload the file from your computer or from supported cloud storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Open the Turnitin assignment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Click Submit<\/strong> or the option for uploading a file.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Choose the upload method.<\/strong> Drag and drop the file, select it on your device, or use Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive if the option is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Select the file.<\/strong> The submission title may be filled in automatically from the file name; edit it if needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Click Upload and Preview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Review the preview carefully.<\/strong> Check that the correct and final version of the file has been uploaded and that the content is displayed correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Click Submit<\/strong> and wait for the confirmation that the submission was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Caution:<\/strong> do not close the browser while the file is uploading and while you are confirming the submission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
