An instructor can submit a student's paper to Turnitin Feedback Studio. This process changed in late September 2023. Please contact us at teachingtools@umsystem.edu if you encounter any difficulties or have questions.
Submitting an individual student's paper directly in Turnitin
This process is different from using the feature in the Feedback Studio integration that allows you to submit a paper for a student. Steps for Feedback Studio: Submit on behalf of student are available at the end of this article.
