Viewing your Turnitin Originality Report

In some, but not all, Turnitin assignments, you are permitted to see your originality report (including a similarity percentage score).)

Permission is set by the module convenor. It will not be changed upon request as it is dependent on the requirements of each individual assignment.

...

Originality reports are generated either once the assignment is uploaded or the due date has passed, and , at peak times, it can take up to 24 hours to produce, though this is usually less.

...

When the report has been generated, the similarity percentage score will appear in the Similarity column of the Turnitin submission page, My Submissions.
