While submitting
Successful submission and receipts
Turnitin no longer sends out email receipts.
When you have submitted successfully, a popup will appear showing the Turnitin Paper ID and the first part of your text (this is unformatted but your file will retain the formatting). Recommended: Note down the Paper ID or print that web page (Use the “Print Screen” button).
Originality reports and similarity scores are normally generated within 10-15 minutes but a second submission to the same assignment within 24 hours will be delayed for 24 hours. If Turnitin is busy reports will also be delayed. (Submission will show as “Pending” while the report is being generated.)
Note – some assignments may be set up by lecturers to NOT show originality reports to students.
Your submission has been unsuccessful if:
- There is a Submit to Turnitin button
- You get an error message or see a paper title but not the Paper ID
There is likely to be something wrong with your file – go through the requirements above then click Submit paper to resubmit a new file.
