Submit Turnitin Assignment guide

This guide will explain how to submit a Turnitin assignment

Replace coursework file submission in Turnitin

If you have uploaded the wrong file in error you may be able to upload a new assignment file prior to the assignment deadline. This process will overwrite your original submission. The ability to resubmit your assignment depends on how the assignment submission has been set up. If you are unable to see a link called Submit Paper you will not be able to resubmit your assignment and should contact your course officer.

  1. Open the relevant Turnitin assignment.
  2. Select the Submit Paper Submit Paper Cloud Icon button.
  3. Add a Submission Title.
  4. Upload your assignment.
  5. Check the assignment submission statement.
  1. Select the Resubmission button to re-submit your assignment.
    • If your file has been successfully submitted to Turnitin, you will see a unique Turnitin ID for your submission which can be found in View Digital Receipt. Your new file will have replaced your original assignment submission.
    • If your file has not been updated, refresh the page or select the Refresh Submissions button found underneath the Marks Available column.
  2. The Submit paper button and the Refresh Submissions button are highlighted.

  3. If you are replacing a file for a submission that has more than one part, ensure you are in the right tab for your resubmission.

Time required to submit your assignment

It can take time for your file to be uploaded to Moodle and for it to be processed by Turnitin. This can be anywhere from a couple of minutes, up to 30 minutes per file, depending on the size and format of your file and your connection speed. Ensure you leave yourself adequate time to successfully submit your assignment, especially if you are submitting multiple large files.
