Getting Started
Within Canvas
Utilizing Turnitin within our learning management system, Canvas, automatically creates
an account for the instructor. In Canvas, Turnitin will need to be enabled within
the Assignment in the course.
NOTE: Assignments added this way will not be visible to your account if you directly
login to turnitin.com.
Turnitin.com
If you choose to go through turnitin.com, you will need to complete the request form needed for creating a Tennessee Tech instructor account. Once the request is processed, you will receive an email with the invitation to join the Tennessee Tech Turnitin license. This option is not necessary if you are currently using Canvas.
