Blackboard (Faculty) - Turnitin Assignments: Manually Upload a Paper

This document provides an overview of how to manually upload a paper to Turnitin. These steps are helpful in cases where the instructor wants to submit a paper to Turnitin on the students' behalf. For example, if students email instructors a copy of their paper instead of uploading it to Turnitin, or in cases where an instructor wants Turnitin to generate a Similarity Report on a specific paper or set of papers, the instructor can submit it manually.

  2. Click on the Turnitin Assignment link. The Student Submission page will open.
