Overview
This article provides instructions for setting up a class and assignment directly in Turnitin.com. This process is intended as a workaround when Turnitin is not functioning correctly within D2L Brightspace Assignments, or when an instructor needs to submit a file to Turnitin.com on behalf of a student or for themselves.
Note: If you are using D2L Brightspace for your course, you do not need to complete these steps. Turnitin is integrated directly into D2L Brightspace assignment submission folders.
How-To
First, login to you Turnitin.com account. You can follow the steps in this support article to help you login to Turnitin.com.
Then, make sure you are in your Instructors tool tab.
- Click the Add class button- or- select the course from the list you wish to add an assignment to.

- Enter the correct information in the text boxes. Click submit. Note: The enrollment key can be any combination of numbers, this is given to students so they can submit files to your specific Turnitin.com class. If you plan to submit files on behalf of students, there is no need to share the key.

- Take note of the Class ID and enrollment key to share with your students, if you choose.
- In the home page, Click the name of the course, then Click Add Assignment button.

- Enter the Assignment title and set the dates. Click Submit.
