Help Center: Setting an Assignment to Allow Resubmissions
By default Turnitin assignments will not accept resubmissions. If the instructor would like to allow students to resubmit their papers, he or she can use the advanced assignment options when creating an assignment to set the assignment to allow overwrites.
How to set an assignment to allow resubmissions
1. Click on the class name
2. Click on the new assignment button
3. Create a title for the assignment
4. Set the assignment start and due dates and times using the date and time pull down menus
5. Click on the "more options" link to see the advanced assignment options
6. Select "immediately (can overwrite reports until due date)" from the "Generate Originality Reports for student submissions:" pull down menu
7. Click submit to create the assignment
Additional Information
- While the assignment can be updated to allow resubmissions after it has been created, any students who submit papers before the setting is in place will not be able to resubmit to the assignment.
- Papers can only be resubmitted until the assignment due date. If the setting to allow submissions after the due date is turned on, only students who have not yet submitted a paper will be able to submit.
- A resubmission will completely overwrite the original submission. Only one submission at a time can exist for each student in the assignment inbox.
