Library FAQs

Turnitin is a submission link for your assignments that checks your work for originality and highlights areas you need to check to ensure you are not plagiarising and are submitting work with academic integrity.

Your work is compared to other students' submissions, journal articles, websites, books etc. that are included in its database. Turnitin does not check for plagiarism but instead, a Similarity Report is created, which shows potential matches. Each October, a Turnitin test site is available under your list of modules in Moodle. To learn more, please see Viewing and Interpreting the Turnitin Similarity Report-Student Guide. 

You can find Turnitin on each of your module Moodle sites; please ask your lecturer if you have difficulty locating it on their module site.

See How to submit an assignment to Turnitin for further guidance. The same page also contains information about resubmissions in Turnitin and how similarity reports are provided.
