When setting up an assignment, lecturers should normally select the option NOT to accept "all file types" to avoid the possibility of students submitting the following file types and not getting an originality report.

NOTE: this is not an exhaustive list. Unless the filetype is in the supported list above it will not be accepted.

  1. Microsoft Works (.wps) file types.
  2. Apple Pages file types.
  3. CAD files (e.g. prt)

  8. zip or rar files
  9. Audio or video files such as .mp3, .mp4, .mov, .wav
