The turnitin.com website provides the following instructions for logging on to the system and enrolling in our course:

If you have ever had a Turnitin account, you should continue using it for any new classes you are taking which require Turnitin. You should not create another Turnitin account when you receive a new ClassID# and Class Password (see Warning below).  Instead, you can add any number of classes to your already existing account. 


To enroll in a class using your pre-existing account, please do the following:

1. Go to www.turnitin.com
2. Log into your account using the upper right hand corner SIGN IN boxes, and type the email address and password* you used previously.
3. Once logged into your account, click on the “Enroll in a Class” tab to the upper left of the screen.  Type the 7 digit Class ID# and the case-sensitive class enrollment password below:
• Class ID: [provided in class]
• enrollment password: [provided in class]
4. Your class will show on your homepage, after being added to your account.
5. Click on the class name and you will see the assignments and submissions for that class.

Once you are enrolled in each class, you will not need that class ID# and class enrollment password again.

*If you do not remember your account password, you can go to www.Turnitin.com, click on the "retrieve password" link to the upper right of the screen, and follow the steps to reset your password.

Warning: Students who have previously created a Turnitin profile will need to log in with the e-mail address and password that was originally set in the user profile.  Creating duplicate accounts with duplicate class enrollments can cause submission issues.  To fix them; your instructor, the Turnitin Help Desk and, possibly, the school administrator will need to be involved.

Helpful Definitions:

Class ID #  - This is a unique 7 digit identification number for your class.  Your instructor will give you this number.  You need this number to enroll in the class.  If you do not have a Class ID# or have forgotten it, you must contact the instructor.  Turnitin does not provide this information.

Password – Your enrollment password is provided by your instructor.  If you have not received one, or the one you have is incorrect, you must contact the class instructor.  Turnitin does not provide this information.   (Reminder - All Turnitin passwords are case-sensitive.)
