Adding Instructors by List Upload

This is the fastest way to get instructors activated in Turnitin:

  1. Prepare a list of instructors for upload. There are three ways to do this:
    • Create a three coumn spreadsheet with First Name, Last Name, and Email Address in separate columns with one instructor per row. Save this file as a Microsoft Excel file (.xls or .xlsx).
    • Create a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or Plain Text (.txt) file with First Name, Last Name, and Email Address with commas and no spaces between each, one instructor per line (for example, John,Doe,jdoe@example.com).
  2. Click the instructor icon to the right of the account name.
  3. Click the upload list button at the top of the instructor list.
  4. Click browse to find the instructor list file on your computer.
  5. Find the file on your computer and click open.
  6. Click submit to upload the list.
  7. Review the list of instructors and click yes, submit to finalize the list submission.

Turnitin will not create duplicate instructor profiles with the same email address. If an instructor already has a Turnitin profile (with the same email address) with another institution, they will simply be joined to your institution's account—users can belong to multiple institutional accounts.

Adding an Individual Instructor

To add an instructor individually:

  1. Click the instructor icon to the right of the account name.
  2. Click the add instructor button at the top of the instructor list.
  3. Enter the instructor's name and e-mail address in the appropriate fields.
  4. Click submit to finalize the addition.

Having Instructors Join an Account

For instructors to join an account they will need the Account ID automatically assigned to the account and the join password that was assigned when the account was created. This information can be viewed by clicking on the stats icon on the Turnitin administrator homepage.

Account ID and Join Password information should only be distributed directly to instructors authorized to join the account.

Do not post this information to a public webpage or internet site. This could allow unauthorized persons to use this account after running a web search and finding this information posted.
