TurnItIn for Insturctors: User Guides, Manuals & Tutorials: Enroll Students

This guide will help you getting started with Turnitin.

Enrolling your Students

Students can enroll in your class by many ways:

  • Self-enrolling by using "Enroll in a class" option if they already have had accounts on Turnitin or "Reset pasword" option if they forgot their passsword; but if they were 1st time users, then they should create a user profile using the class ID number and class enrollment password.
  • The instructor can enroll students in a class one by one using "Add Student" or by uploading a list of e-mails and student names via "Upload Student List, then a student will receive a confirmation e-mail. If the student has an existing account, the confirmation e-mail contains only notification of the new class enrollment. If the e-mail address was not for an existing student user in Turnitin the confirmation e-mail contains a temporary password and login instructions.

New student user profiles that have never logged in are indicated with a pink highlight over the enrollment date to the left of the student name on the student list page.
