Last Day to Access Turnitin
As Ouriginal is the new institutional plagiarism detection tool, all new and existing assignments using Turnitin should be switched to Ouriginal via "assignment edit settings." Instructors have until October 11, 2021 to make the change. After this point, all assignments with the Turnitin setting will no longer work.
Instructors will also no longer have access to Turnitin from past courses. If there are outstanding academic integrity cases for which an earlier Turnitin report is needed, those reports should be downloaded before October 11. See this user guide covering the shift from Turnitin to Ourignal.
For questions and support, contact TTS: tts.artsci@utoronto.ca.
