Viewing Account Join Information
Turnitin account ids and join passwords are e-mailed to the account administrator at the time the account is activated. For privacy and security reasons, Turnitin can only send this information to the e-mail address associated with the Turnitin account administrator. It is the responsibility of the Turnitin account administrator to distribute this information to instructors. Turnitin account administrators can also view this information within their Turnitin administrator accounts.
