Help Center: How to Transfer Papers Between Assignments?
If there are students who may have accidentally turned in a paper to the wrong assignment inbox or assignment, you can transfer papers between assignments. This will allow for the instructor to seamlessly transfer papers around without having to require their student to resubmit a paper or delete the paper and submit the paper again into the inbox. This will also prevent the paper from being checked against a first time submission so that there will not be any false positives or false high percentage matches.
To transfer a paper to another assignment
1. Click on the class name
2. Click on the "View" link to the right of the assignment name
3. Select the check box next to the author of the paper/s you wish to transfer.
4. Click the "move to..." button
5. Select the name of the assignment you wish to transfer the paper to from the "destination assignment "pull down menu
6. Click submit
Please note you will end in the inbox for the assignment that the paper was transferred to.
Additional Information
In addition to transferring papers you also have the option to organize your inbox if needed. This is mostly used when an inbox becomes large and unmanageable. You can organize and sort your inbox by:
- Sorting by column header: You can click on the top of any of the columns in the inbox that have the “student name”, “paper title”, “date submitted”, “report” columns to help sort the papers as needed.
- Sorting by folder: You can also move papers to “viewed” or “marked” folders already provided for in each inbox by checking the papers you want to move and clicking on the “move to” button.
- Deleting unwanted papers: You can delete papers in the inbox by checking on the papers you want to delete and clicking on the “delete” button. (Please note the papers deleted will be removed from your inbox but will remain in the Turnitin database. The student should be able to resubmit to the assignment.)
