Submitting an Assignment

Accepting the Turnitin Agreement


Before beginning to submit your assignments, you are required to accept the Turnitin agreement. This
needs to be done only once.

The procedure for accepting the Turnitin agreement before submitting your assignment is the following:

1. After you click on the “Add submission” button in the assignment activity, you will see the following
message:

2. Click on the message and a pop-up will show up with the agreement, which you will need to agree
with by clicking on the “I agree” button.

How to Submit an Assignment

1. Click on the Submission link.

You should then see a screen similar to the image below. Click the Add submission button to
bring up the file upload page.

2. Upload and save the file. There
are two ways to upload a file:
• Browse for a file (1)
• Drag-and-drop the file from your desktop or folder to the big blue arrow where it says
“You can drag and drop files here to add them” (2)

When the upload completes and your file appears in the Files area, click the “Save changes”
button (3).

3. Revise, edit or submit.


Once you upload your document, it is automatically saved as draft (1). That means you have
the opportunity to revise your document until the due date. Please do not forget to submit for
marking before the due date. When you submit the document, your tutor will know that it is
ready for marking.

If the assignment link has Turnitin enabled, your document will be checked for plagiarism.
You should see the “Turnitin status: Queued” below the document that you have uploaded
(2). Make sure you return later to check your “Turnitin status”. If the similarity report of your
work is too high, you can edit your submission until you are satisfied with the result.

To edit your submission, click on Edit submission (3). This will take you back to “Step 2 where
you can replace your document. Click on your document, then click on the delete button and
then the update button. Now you may upload a new document.

To remove your submission, click Remove submission (4). This will remove your assignment
submission but the assignment will remain as draft. You will then need to click on Edit
submission (3) to upload the new document.

When you finish with any revisions you have made, you must finalise your submission. To
submit your document for marking, click on Submit assignment (5).

NOTE: Click the Submit assignment button only when you are sure you have uploaded the correct
document.

4. Click the Continue button. Once you finalise your assignment submission, you will not be
able to make any other changes on it.

Submission notifications

Upon successful submission, you should receive a receipt email confirming that the assignment
has been submitted successfully.

Checking the Similarity Report

Clicking on the assignment link where you have previously uploaded and saved your
assignment you will see the similarity report (1) below your assignment. You can also click
on the similarity report (1) to view the full report.

NOTE: It is only when the tutor has activated Turnitin for a specific assignment that you will
be able to view the similarity report.

< Replace with the Title of the document>

Once you click on the similarity index, you should see the Document Viewer. The
Match Overview gives you a breakdown of all the matches that have been found on
a paper, ordered by highest similarity match to lowest.

To view the Match Overview, click the red numerical similarity score from the
similarity toolbar. If the similarity layer was inactive, it will now be activated,
highlighting all matches on the paper.
