View both upcoming and completed assignments by class, or view them across all your classes. Selecting an assignment will allow you to submit your work, or view feedback and scores. You can also view your current grades by class.

There are two main ways of accessing your Turnitin assignments:

Accessing Turnitin directly:

1. Head to a Class Team.
2. Select the General channel.
3. Select the Turnitin tab (found on the top of the page).
4. To view assignment details and submit your work, select the assignment from the list.
5. Upload your work by dragging and dropping the correct file into the upload area or select it by pressing Browse Files.

Alternatively, the assignment can be found via the Teams Assignments tab:

1. Head to a Class Team.
2. Select the Assignments tab (found on the left, above Channels).
3. To view assignment details, select the assignment from the list.
4. Press the link to the corresponding Turnitin submission in the assignment’s reference materials. Do NOT attach your work or “Hand In” the assignment directly.
5. Follow the same procedure as accessing Turnitin directly.

You can also view assignments for all of your classes by pressing Assignments on the navigation panel on the left side of the window (among the Chat, Teams, Calendar, etc. icons).

Submitting your work to Turnitin in Teams is straightforward. Once the assignment is selected, you can expand it to see the start, due, and feedback release date, as well as the assignment instructions, assuming your teacher has added them.

Once the Upload Submission button is pressed, a submission window will pop up. Turnitin offers three ways to submit your work:

• File submission, where you select the appropriate file to upload
• Text submission, where you type or copy the answer directly into a text box
• Cloud submission, where you import the appropriate file from your virtual drive

There are a few conditions that need to be met before you can confirm your submission:

• Your submission has a title.
• You have uploaded a file.
• Your submission has at least 20 words.

Without these steps, you will not be able to submit your work. To avoid issues with your assignment, also ensure that:

• You submit the correct file or answer for the assignment.
• Your work is your own and is appropriately referenced.

If you have any issues trying to submit your work or have accidently submitted a wrong file, contact your teacher for further assistance.

Once your teacher has marked your work and the feedback release date of the assignment has passed you will be able to access your feedback. The release date is set by your teacher in order to enable feedback for all students to be published at the same time.

To access your feedback navigate to the Turnitin link where you submitted the assignment (either the Turnitin tab or the Teams Assignments tab). Once you select your assignment, you will be able to:

• View and download your submission.
• Download the Digital Receipt for your submission.
• Access the Similarity Report (if enabled by the teacher).
• Check your Grade and Feedback (past the feedback release date).

The Similarity Report contains information on how closely your work matches other works in Turnitin’s database. To learn more about Similarity Reports, visit this page.

Your Digital Receipt contains your unique Submission ID, which can be used as a reference should there be any issues with your submission.

Alternatively, your grade will be visible in the Teams Assignments and Grades tabs.
