Seeing or understanding a Turnitin originality report

This guide provides information on understanding your Turnitin originality report

Originality reports are usually created within 10-15 minutes of the first submission. However, lengthy documents or files with images or tables can take longer. If your first submission and the similarity index is still showing "pending' after the 10-15 minutes, log out of Blackboard and try again to access the page. 

After three submission attempts, you must wait 24 hours before the originality report is generated. Please note, re-submissions must be enabled by your unit assessor.  If you can’t resubmit your file, please contact your unit assessor.

How do I access the Turnitin Similarity report?
