Student: How do I submit a paper to a Canvas Assignment that uses Turnitin?
The process for submitting to an assignment depends on which version of Turnitin your instructor is using.
If your instructor is using the Canvas Plagiarism Framework, the assignment submission process is the same as any Canvas assignment. Click the Start Assignment button to submit to the assignment.
If you see the Turnitin Inbox on the Assignment instructions page, or a button that says Load (assignment name) in a new window, your instructor is using the Legacy Turnitin tool and the submission process is slightly different.
Submitting an assignment using the Legacy Turnitin tool
Click "Assignments"
Note: The Assignment might be linked from a different tool such as the Modules tool or the Pages tool.
Click on the name of the assignment
This displays the assignment instructions.
Click "Upload Submission"
This displays a Submit File panel
Enter the name of the paper, then click "Select a file to upload"

Click "Continue"
Click "Accept Submission & Save"
