If you are an instructor who uses Canvas and want to upload a student’s paper directly to Turnitin, there are a few steps involved. The first part is to create a Turnitin web account, and the second part is to enable Quick Submit on that account:
- If you have never created a Turnitin assignment in Canvas before, you will need to do this to generate your Turnitin account before following the next steps. You do not need to publish the Turnitin assignment.
- Go to https://www.turnitin.com (warning: if you get “Connection was reset”, just refresh the page).
- Click on "Login," then "Forgot your password? Click Here."
- Enter your email address which you have set as default in Canvas. If you don't know which address you used, please email canvas.support@oregonstate.edu and they can provide that information.
- Enter your Last Name, then click Next.
- An email will be sent to your address with a link to reset your password.
- Reset your password by clicking on the link and following the instructions.
- You may also be prompted to choose a Secret Question for your account; if this generates an error, simply Continue and try your login.
- Then go back to https://www.turnitin.com and log in with your new password.
- Please click on the User Info tab at the top to see if your account Type is "Instructor."
- If not, set it to "Instructor", then refresh the page (or log out and log back in).
- Click on the User Info tab, and on the right hand side under Account Settings, find "Activate quick submit."
- Use the dropdown menu to select Yes, then scroll to the bottom of the page and click Submit.
- You should now see a Quick Submit tab on your Turnitin page which can be used to submit individual papers.
