– Compares your paper to millions of sources in its repository

– Results in an Originality Report with an originality percentage

– You must hand in a printed copy of the Originality Report with your assignment

– Submit your assignment early so Turnitin has time to compile the report (can take anywhere from 15 minutes – 2 days)

At this point, you may see a progress window

If your Originality Report is not ready immediately, check back in 10-15 minutes (or longer!). Go back to the Turnitin folder in the Course Documents section and click on View/Complete.
