- Filename No Filename No non-alphanumeric Filename must not contain unrecognizable (non-alphanumeric) characters in the submission title, such as & , . ( ) % # ” / \ – { } [ ] < > : ; @.

- Columns Columns Keep to one one column If at all possible, keep to ONE column of text per page
- Title of file Keep file Keep it short When adding a title please keep it relatively short as long titles affect the rendering size of files downloaded from Turnitin such as feedback
