On May 11, 2022 we updated the method used for connecting Blackboard to Turnitin. This update brings some user interface changes but the service retains the same features. Students will continue to submit their Turnitin assignments from a link in a content area.

To submit a paper to a Turnitin assignment in Blackboard, the user must log into Blackboard and upload a file to an existing Turnitin assignment.

  • Turnitin assignments cannot accept student submissions until the assignment start date and time has passed.

  • Assignments may also reject submissions after the due date and time set by the instructor. 

Turnitin assignments at UA are not submitted through Turnitin.com

Instructions

  1. Click on the assignment link in a course content area. A new tab/window may open to launch the assignment.

  2. Click on the assignment title to open the assignment details including the due date and any instructions provided by the instructor.

  3. Click the Upload Submission to begin the submission process.

    Click on the assignment title to view assignment details and click on the upload submission button to begin the submission process.

Submission Process

Make sure that the file type you are submitting can be accepted by Turnitin. View this article:

  1. The first step is to upload/input your submission. Choose one of the following:

    1. Upload Submission - Name your submission and Browse your computer for a file to upload.
