When an administrator adds an instructor (or instructors) to the account instructor list, Turnitin will automatically e-mail the instructor (or instructors) a notification of the addition. If the instructor has not previously used the system a temporary user password will be automatically generated for the instructor and sent in the notification e-mail. If the instructor has previously used the system, he or she will need to use his or her previous password to sign in to Turnitin.

For each user in your list, you must include the user's e-mail address, last name, and first name in this order: first name, last name, e-mail address.

Instructor list files can be saved in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, or Plain Text format. Please note Word and text files must contain commas between the instructors' e-mail addresses, last names and first names.

Instructors can join accounts themselves using the account id and join password. For more information regarding this please view our quickstart videos.
