The Academic Integrity Policy requires word-processed coursework is submitted to Turnitin. Turnitin itself does not make any decisions about plagiarism, rather it produces a ‘Similarity report’ indicating where text in your work matches other sources.
The first time you submit a piece of work (and the following 3 resubmissions), it can take between a few seconds and a few hours to return your report, but it may take significantly longer at peak hand-in times. The forth resubmitted assignment will always take a minimum of 24 hours to return a report.
