Submitting a Turnitin Assignment in Canvas

Turnitin is the plagiarism detection service used in Canvas at NCTC to check submitted assignments for original content. The paper will be checked against existing material from several online sources. Turnitin will return a "percentage of plagiarism" based on how closely your content matches the existing content.

You will submit your paper just like you would any other online submission. The difference occurs once the paper is submitted and a plagiarism report is generated. View the following link for details on how to submit your assignment.
