Before you can begin using the Turnitin service, you must complete two basic steps:
1. Create a user profile at turnitin.com You will be required to provide an email address that will become your Turnitin user name and choose a password for the system. We recommend using your GatorLink email address but use a different password for increased security.
2. Join an online class at Turnitin by using the account join password provided to you by the instructor. Once you join a class, the instructor will need to create assignment categories to which you will submit your papers. Remember that you can only submit one time to each assignment; so don’t upload the wrong draft!
