Extensions and resubmissions guide

Unlike Moodle assignments, there is no embedded workflow within the Turnitin assignment to enable extensions and to provide students who fail at first attempt with another attempt on the same submission area. You will need to set up a new Turnitin assignment and restrict access to the assignment to individual students. Please ensure that you have hidden the restrictions so that students do not know who has received an extension or failed a first attempt. Pay particular attention to the Restrict access settings.

Review our Create Turnitin Assignment guide if you need guidance on how to create a new Turnitin assignment and review the section on Restrict access settings box below for information on how to restrict access to only students with an extension or an opportunity to resubmit.

Use the Restrict access settings to restrict access to the assignment to the relevant students

1. Open the assignment activity.
2. Select Settings to open the assignment settings.
3. Scroll down to the Restrict access settings.
4. Select Add restriction.
5. Select User profile from the list to restrict access to the assignment to individual students.
6. Select Email address from the User profile field.
7. Input the student's email address. Ensure that there is no spaces prior to or after the email address or the restrict access won't work.
8. If you want more than one student to access the assignment, select Add restriction and add another email address. Change the match drop-down menu to any. This means that any of the students that have been added to the restrict access settings will be able to access the assignment.

9. Save and return to module and check that your assignments displays as intended.
