Direct Submission to Turnitin

The quick submit feature allows instructors to submit papers and receive Similarity Reports without creating a class or an assignment. This is ideal for instructors who would like to use Turnitin to spot check submissions and have these papers in electronic format. If you have used Turnitin before through Canvas, you will follow the instructions below to set up your password directly with Turnitin using your LETU email address.
