Submit a Turnitin assignment on behalf of a student
Page last updated:
This guide is to help staff to submit a Turnitin assignment on behalf of a student.
This situation may arise if a student is unable to submit the assignment due to technical difficulties, for example.
Please note, students can contact the Library for help using Turnitin. However, library staff will not be able to submit work on behalf of a student.
The following steps apply to staff with an instructor role on a module:
a. In your module, locate the Turnitin assignment and click on the assignment title.
b. The submissions inbox will open. Click into the Submit on behalf of student search box and select the student from the Student Name drop-down list.
c. Once you have selected the student a pop up will appear. Select the Continue button to go ahead and submit on behalf of the student you have chosen.
Note: There are three options regarding submission type to choose from:
- Upload Submission - Refers to the ability to upload any documents/files from your personal storage space on your device as a submission
- Text Input - Ability to submit text as a submission type via e.g., entering or pasting text into the designated submission area
- Cloud Submission (Google Drive / One Drive / Dropbox) - Upload files from cloud storage spaces as submissions

Click Choose File to locate the file that the student has sent you to submit on their behalf.
