Turnitin have just moved their www.submit.ac.uk site to www.turnitinuk.com

For students who have already accessed Turnitin this session.

It is no longer necessary for us to require account names that are anonymous for marking purposes.  We are now able to use a function in Turnitin to achieve this.  If your account name is set up with your student number instead of your name, you may change it (to your name – no nicknames) but it’s not a requirement.

Please note that when you upload your file to Turnitin, the SUBMISSION TITLE and the FILE NAME must be identical and contain your student number.

Welcome to Mahara where you will find instructions on how to use Turnitin for your Business School assignments together with a student user guide and manual. We recommend that you bookmark this page.

The Adam Smith Business School requires you to submit the final version of your assignments (unless otherwise advised) to Turnitin.  You will also be able to use Turnitin to check drafts of your work.  All information and documentation about using Turnitin can be found here.

Important note: submission to Turnitin is in addition to and does not replace other submission arrangements.  Deadlines and late submission penalties apply to print submissions and not Turnitin.

Please consult the guidance below depending on whether you are using Turnitin for an individual assignment or a group assignment.

Depending whether or not you have used the Turnitin Software before, you will receive different instructions to log in once you have been added to a class by your Programmes Administrator.

You can find details of the correct process in the Student User Manual.

Please ensure your name on your Turnitin account is anonymised as per the manual.
