Turnitin Assignment - Student FAQ


I am having problems submitting my Turnitin Assignment

Typically, instructors will indicate what types of documents are able to be uploaded to Turnitin. If there is no indication of what files are acceptable, contact the instructor for specific details. Typically, these files are accepted:

  1. A MS-Word file from Microsoft Word, which is freely available for York University students.
  2. A PDF file, which can be generated by exporting to PDF or printing to PDF.
  3. The file must have a minimum 20 words, maximum of 400 pages, and a file size of less than 40 MB.
  4. If you have scanned your response, you will need to import it into a MS-Word document and include at least 20 typed words (Your course code and your name/student number).
  5. If you are not using MS-Office or Adobe Reader to create your document, save the file as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file.

I submitted my Turnitin Assignment but I forgot something - can I resubmit?

You may not be allowed to re-submit your Turnitin assignment if your instructor does not allow re-submission.

Similarly, you may not be allowed to submit your Turnitin assignment after the due date if the instructor does not allow it. In both cases, contact the instructor.
