Changes often force us to adapt in ways we’ve never experienced, which can be a major driver of personal (and even professional) growth and development.

TurnItIn: License Expires Mar. 26, 2024 (updated 2/22/24)


Cal Poly is not renewing our TurnItIn License due to low usage and a high license fee. An official message about TurnItIn at Cal Poly was sent on Feb. 19, 2024. 

 

Faculty using TurnItIn in this Winter's Canvas courses can change their Canvas Assignments from an External Tool, TurnItIn, to an...
1) Online Submission Type 
2) File Uploads


When you change the TurnItIn Assignment from the past to an Online submission, the files students submitted are stored in Canvas with the Gradbook score.

 

For those courses taught in Canvas between Winter and fall 2023, the Cal Poly Canvas Support Team has manually changed the TurnItIn External Assignments to Online Assignments for you. This saves student participation records and grades in Canvas for the year if a student refutes a grade.

NOTE: If you used the TurnItIn: Rubrics or PeerMark, that will not be saved since it resides in TurnItIn and not Canvas. 





TurnItIn can help to improve student writing one draft at a time. Instructors can save time with easy-to-use feedback and grading features. Use it to cultivate literacy skills with tools that support best practice, standards-aligned writing instruction and set students up for success. It can be used to foster critical thinking skills and encourage creative, confident writers.

If the student has received a welcome email from Turnitin, it confirms you have added them to your class, allowing the student to begin submitting papers. If the student has not received a welcome email from Turnitin, please tell them to check their spam or junk folder.

Each Turnitin account must be assigned a unique email address in the Turnitin system. Users who have previously created a Turnitin account must log in with the email address and password originally provided. Please see student TurnItIn support for their tutorials.

NOTE: Do not store submitted papers has changed to "Submit papers to: no repository".
