Welcome to the Turnitin.com Student Quickstart
Tutorial! This brief tour will take you through
the basic steps students new to Turnitin.com will
need to get set up and start submitting papers.
More detailed instructions are available by
downloading the Turnitin.com user manuals from
our website. This is the Turnitin.com home page.
From here, potential users can navigate through a
variety of screens to learn more about our
service. It is also the point of entry for all
registered users of Turnitin.com, who enter our
system using the "user login" button.

This is the Turnitin.com login page. You will
need to access this page every time you begin a
new session with Turnitin.com. New users must
first create a user profile by clicking on the
"New user? Click here to get started" link and
following the step-by-step instructions. During
this process, you will enter your email address
and create a password. When you are finished
registering, return to the login page. Every
Turnitin.com user is one of four user types
Student, Faculty, Administrator, or Free Trial.
Before logging in, you must select the
appropriate user type. As a student, select
"student" as your user type. Next, enter your
email address and password and click "submit" to
access your student home page.
4
This is the student homepage. The first time you
log in, a blank homepage will appear. Before you
can begin submitting papers, you must enroll in a
class by clicking on join new class. Note
Before you attempt to join a class, make sure
your instructor has provided you with the class
ID and the class enrollment password for the
appropriate class. Without this information, you
will be unable to join a class and submit papers.

5
This is the "join new class" page. Here, you will
enter the class ID and enrollment password for
your class. After you click "submit", the class
will be added to your class list on your student
homepage.
6
This is your revised homepage. You can now enter
your class and access your class portfolio by
clicking on the class title from your class
list. Note Students can delete any class by
using the "trash can" icon, as long as no papers
have been submitted to the class. Once a paper
has been submitted to a given class, the class
can no longer be removed.
7
This is your class portfolio, which shows a
record of all the papers submitted for the
current class. Presently, your class portfolio is
empty because no papers have been submitted. To
submit a paper to your class, click on the "turn
it in!" button on the account navigation bar.
8
This is the student paper submission page. As you
can see, the student in the example to the right
has entered a title for his or her submission,
and also selected "assignment 1" from the
assignment menu. Every submission must
correspond with a given assignment. If your
instructor has not created an assignment, you
will be unable to submit a paper to Turnitin.com.
The main text of the paper is copied from any
recognized digital format and pasted into the
"main text" box. You can also elect to add an
abstract and bibliography. After you click on
the "submit" button, the paper is sent to
Turnitin.com and processed. You will receive a
digital receipt to confirm your submission.
9
This is a Turnitin.com digital receipt. You can
print this page for your records. A second copy
of the receipt is also emailed to you. After
submitting your paper, you may confirm that the
paper has been received by viewing it in your
class portfolio.
10
This is the your revised class portfolio, which
now shows a record of the paper just submitted.
An optional feature of Turnitin.com is the
ability to allow students to view the results of
their own Originality Reports. This feature is
turned on or off by instructors on an individual
class basis. Were this feature activated, an
"Originality Report" icon would appear to the
left of each paper's title in your class
portfolio.
