Submitting and Resubmitting Papers to Turnitin as a Student
Sometimes instructors use the Turnitin assignment type to accept your submissions. This post explains how to submit these assignments types.
- Click the Turnitin assignment link in your Moodle course.
- Click the Upload Submission button in the assignment dashboard.
- Choose your file (Word, PDF, etc.) and click Upload and Review.
- Review the document preview to ensure formatting is correct, then click Submit to Turnitin.
- Resubmitting: If allowed by your instructor, click the Resubmit button. Note that resubmitting overwrites your previous file, and generating a new similarity report can take up to 24 hours.
Understanding the Similarity Score for Students
This guide explains how to open the report from within the feedback studio view, how the similarity percentage is calculated, and what the different match colours indicate.
Creating a Standard TurnItIn Assignment
Setting up a standard assignment relies on the Select Content deep-linking workflow, which bridges Moodle directly with Turnitin Feedback Studio.
Step-by-Step Setup:
1. Enable Editing

Locate the specific topic, section, or week where you want the Turnitin assignment to appear and click Add an activity or resource.
2. Choose Turnitin
In the activity chooser, choose the Turnitin activity.
3. Select Content
In the settings menu that appears, click the Select content button. This opens the Turnitin setup window via deep linking. (Note: If this is your first time using the integration, you may be prompted to accept an End User License Agreement).
4. Configure Assignment Details

- Enter the Assignment Title and Instructions.
- Set your Start Date, Due Date, and Feedback Release Date.
5. Similarity Reports and Repositories
In the Report settings area, define your similarity report and repository choices.
- Decide if you will allow students to view the Similarity Report after the due date or at the time of submission.
- Choose Standard Paper Repository for final papers. Or choose Do not store submitted papers if students are submitting drafts.
- Click Submit at the bottom of the Turnitin window to save these configurations.
