Getting Turnitin materials for academic integrity cases

When turning a paper over to your Academic Integrity Officer, it is helpful to provide them with the Submission ID and a PDF copy of the report. The two sections below cover how to do that in the Classic, Beta and Text-Only Views of the Turnitin Similarity Report interface.

Examples of Submission ID's
Classic View submission ID: 2493837195
Beta View submission ID: oid:1:3051201694
