i submitted the wrong assignment on turnitin

• Quick Answers
• Online Assessment and Feedback

What should I do if a student has submitted an incorrect file to a Turnitin assignment dropbox?

A student contacts you to say they submitted the wrong assignment or a draft version of their assignment by mistake. When an assignment drop box is configured to allow one submission only, i.e. ‘students cannot resubmit’, or if the Due Date has passed, a student will not be allowed to resubmit. Note: Since Summer 2022 the default Turnitin setting is ‘students cannot resubmit’.

Guidance: 

Module Leaders, at their own discretion, can delete the incorrect submission – then the student will be able to resubmit. 

Before you delete a submission you should follow these steps carefully:

• Find the Paper ID of the incorrect submission. This is easy to do if the drop box is not anonymous because you can search by student name. If the drop box is anonymous then ask the student to provide their ‘ Turnitin Digital Receipt ’ – they will have received it by email when they made their submission. It includes the unique TII Paper ID, the name of the drop box they submitted to and the date and time it was submitted.
• Make a note of the Paper ID (the student will probably have included it in the email exchange between the two of you). Keeping a record of the Paper ID is just a precaution in case you later need it for some reason.
• Once you have the TII Paper ID you can search the list of submissions by the Paper ID to locate the submission.
• Next, download the incorrect submission. Click the ‘ Download Submission ’ button on the right hand side of the student’s submission. Do this as a precaution, just in case you later need it for some reason, for example, the student can’t find the final submission they wish to upload. Tip: Keep downloaded submissions like this within a subfolder in the Downloads folder on your computer. Periodically delete saved submissions which are over six months old.

• Now it is safe to delete the incorrect submission, click the ‘ Delete Submission ’ Bin button on the right hand side of the student’s submission.

• You can now contact the student to let them know they are now able to resubmit.

If a student submits their work to the wrong module, i.e, the wrong Moodle course, then you may want to request that the paper gets removed from Turnitin, because subsequently submitting the same paper to the correct module will show a high match percentage. How do I request removal of a submission from the Turnitin database?

Turnitin: I received an error while submitting my work – what should I do?

What to do if you receive errors when submitting work to Turnitin: Most of the time students get error while submitting an incompatible file to Turnitin. If you are experiencing any issues, please check the compatibility of your file.

Please check:

• Check whether your file meets minimum Turnitin requirement. Check this “ Turnitin File Requirements ” guide for details.
• Ensure file size is not larger than 100MB.
• Remove all the excessive formatting in your document. (avoid using word and PowerPoint templates)
• If you are submitting a scanned PDF or a word document which consists of images, please add at least 20 selectable words in your document. Check this guide for more info: “ Turnitin: Submit Scanned / Handwritten Work “
• If you are resubmitting your work after the deadline has passed, please contact your Programme Admin team. Turnitin does not allow students to resubmit work after the deadline has passed.
• If you don’t see an error, but your file taking long time to upload or not being uploaded, please check your internet connection (try wired internet connection), or try a different internet browser.

Report the issue:

If you are unsure of the likely cause of the issue, please report the issue through the IT Self Service Portal . 

Use this  Blackboard Help Request Form   to ensure that your query is addressed by the appropriate person as promptly as possible.  

Avoid late submissions:  Always leave plenty of time and try to submit your work well in advance. If you are submitting your work just before the deadline and experience any  technical issues (apart from the official system outage), please send your work to your Programme Admin team via email to avoid any late penalty.

For more information, please read following

When submitting to a Turnitin Assignment you may encounter errors.

They are usually descriptive and easy to resolve, but you may encounter some you aren’t sure about.

Styling Issues

Here are some you might see:

The paper you have submitted seems to have an unusual number of excessively long or short words. Please try changing your font and submitting again.

The paper you are trying to submit is incorrectly formatted. There seems to be spaces between each letter in your paper.

This error is common if you are submitting a PowerPoint Presentation with lots of styling. To resolve this, export your sideshow to a PDF. You can export in a way that your notes are visible, if that is part of the work you want your instructor to see.

Convert PowerPoint presentation to PDF if Turnitin does not accept the submission →

Images and Handwritten Work

Another possible error is:

We weren’t able to process your submission. Please try re-submitting your file. If you need further assistance, please contact TurnitinUK support.

You must submit more than 20 words of text.

In this case it’s likely that your paper is either scanned or has insufficient selectable text. To resolve this, please add 20 words of text to your paper.

You can see more about this error here:

If you need help with using Turnitin please log a ticket on the IT Self Service Portal . 

General Errors

If Turnitin shows you an error stating:

Error 9999 – Turnitin Assignment not linked with Grade Centre

If you didn’t receive an error but your work is not uploading, it may be due to a browser issue. Please try a different browser. If you are using Safari, you can see how to resolve possible issues here:

Tips and Troubleshooting for Turnitin

What is it.

This guide covers troubleshooting tips for common Turnitin errors

What does it do?

There are a few common issues that you may experience when you submit your assessment to a Turnitin submission point. This guide will help you resolve the issues, or direct you to the best place to go for help.

What should I know?

What to do if you can’t submit.

First, read the error message carefully, these will usually tell you what the issue is so you can resolve it.

Word count error

If you see the following error message that says that your submission needs at least 20 words, you’ll need to edit your submission to meet this word count. This message often appears when you are submitting a file that has scanned pages. Even if these appear to have text on them, scans are read by Turnitin as images and therefore they are considered to have no text. You can create a coversheet that meets the word count and attach it to your file to be able to upload your file.

If you’re still having issues, contact Help4U .

Cannot upload submission

If you are unable to upload a submission and see the message  Cannot upload submission . There is something in the settings that is barring your from submitting – most likely, the due date has passed and the assignment has been set up to not allow late submissions. If you see this message, you will need to contact your instructor for any further help.

File size error

If you see the following error about your file being too large, you will need to compress your file .

What to do if you have submitted the wrong file

First, see if your assignment allows resubmissions. If resubmissions are allowed and it is before the due date , you can resubmit the correct file. You won’t need to delete anything and the new submission will automatically replace the earlier submission. If the assignment doesn’t allow resubmissions or it is past the due date, you’ll need to contact your instructor for any further help.

You cannot delete submissions, so if you have uploaded a file to the wrong submission point and need help removing it you will need to contact your instructor for further help.

What to do if something else has gone wrong

If anything else has gone wrong with your submission, please contact Help4U . You should also contact your instructor so they are aware of any issues you may be having.

Before you submit Submitting your file Cut and paste submission Grading rubrics and forms  Keeping a copy of your Submission and Digital Receipt Resubmitting your work Viewing your feedback

Before you submit

If you encounter any problems during the submission process, please contact the IT Service Desk immediately.

Turnitin is accessed via Minerva. We do not recommend accessing Minerva via the UniLeeds App as you may have technical issues. Use a browser and go to minerva.leeds.ac.uk to access Minerva. To ensure you don’t experience issues when accessing Turnitin we recommend the latest versions of Chrome (installed on the student desktop), Edge Chromium, or Firefox. On a Mac, you can use Safari. Stay up to date with the latest versions.

Avoid opening multiple Turnitin assignments simultaneously. This may result in submitting to the wrong assignment.

Submitting your file

Follow your tutor's guidance.

Your tutor may tell you which type of file they expect you to submit, however for typical essay and report type assignments we recommend submitting as  PDF .  

The file size limit per assignment is 100MB (2MB for plain text files), and no greater than 800 pages in length. If your file is larger than this, you'll likely need to compress or remove images to submit. See the guide on Reducing Files

Check the file type -  In general, PDF is recommended.

Turnitin will not accept PDF files that do not contain highlightable text (e.g. a scanned file – usually an image) or documents containing multiple files. PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat® are officially supported. Web-based PDF creators should be avoided.

Turnitin will also accept the following file types (though if you have not been told to submit any particular format the best choice is PDF):

Do not use any of the following characters in your filename:

Managing student submissions in Turnitin

• Created: 23rd August 2022

This guide has been created to inform staff of steps that can be taken if a student incorrectly submits a piece of work to Turnitin.

Removing submitted student work from Turnitin creates several, time-consuming and difficult-to-manage challenges and must only be used as an absolute last resort for staff at Teesside University.  Staff must also ensure that they have the permission of all members of the school/department that will be impacted (including the Systems Support team) before modifying/removing student work.

Excluding sources via all sources

This is the best option to use if a student has previously submitted a piece of work in error, such as to the wrong module and therefore a similarity report has been generated.  When the student then submits to the correct module the new similarity report will be returned as 100% plagiarised due to the same piece of work being previously submitted (in error). Don’t worry this doesn’t have to be a problem if correctly managed.

To exclude sources from the similarity report using the “All Sources” side panel use the following steps.

Click the graph icon from the similarity toolbar. ( If the similarity layer was inactive, it will now be activated, highlighting all on-paper matches .)

Click the Exclude Sources button at the bottom of the All Sources side panel.

Use the checkboxes to select the sources that you’d like to exclude from the similarity report.

Click the red Exclude (x) button at the bottom of the All Sources side panel. The button will provide a count of the number of sources you have chosen to exclude. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to clear your selection.

Removal or over-writing of content uploaded incorrectly to Turnitin

In almost all circumstances it is better to not delete an assessment in Turnitin.  If a student has uploaded an incorrect assignment to a Turnitin module the best option is that they reupload the correct assignment and overwrite the previous upload.  There are several options that can be explored to achieve this listed below.

If the overwriting is enabled and the submission deadline has not passed

Some assignments may allow students the ability to overwrite their previous submissions until an assignment’s due date. This option is activated by the instructor on an assignment-by-assignment basis. If re-submissions are not enabled, the instructor must manually delete the previous submission to allow the user to submit your second file.

If resubmissions have been enabled, resubmitting a paper is handled in an identical manner as a first-time submission.  To set the required overwrite option go to the Turnitin Assignment, select the Settings cog and expand the Optional Settings .

Browse to the Similarity Report section of the settings and use the dropdown box on to control how your assignment deals with generating similarity reports and re-submissions.  The Generate reports immediately (students can resubmit until the due date): After 3 resubmissions, the reports generate after 24 hours option offers the best fit to allow students to resubmit and receive the similarity reports immediately.

Manual deletion of previous submissions (If overwriting is not enabled) by the instructor.

If you do not wish to enable the resubmission option for everyone, but a certain student has uploaded an incorrect file or needs to resubmit for any reason, as an instructor, can delete their submission.  If the assignment is still open, this will allow them to upload a new file.

To manually delete a previously submitted Turnitin assignment use the following steps.

Open the assignment inbox for the Turnitin in question

Locate the student whose work is to be deleted, click the More Options and select Remove from Inbox .

Confirm that the assessment submission is to be removed.

This action will only remove the submitted assignment from the student’s Turnitin inbox but will not remove the work from the similarity database.  As the work has now been submitted and a similarity report has been generated, any future submissions of this work will need to have this source omitted from the new similarity report.

How can I remove a submission from the assignment inbox?

Aug 31, 2023 • knowledge article, information.

If you would like to remove a submission from an assignment, you can do this from the relevant assignment inbox. Within the assignment, tick the checkbox for the paper you wish to remove; the Delete  drop-down option will then appear. Click on the Delete button and select Remove From Inbox . This will remove the paper from the assignment. Once a paper is removed from an assignment, instructors can then resubmit on behalf of the student, or the student can resubmit to the assignment themselves, if needed. Please be aware that papers deleted from the assignment inbox are not permanently deleted. If a paper is submitted to the global repository, removing it from the assignment will not remove it from our database. If you wish to permanently delete a submission and remove it from our database, you may be able to raise the deletion request with your Turnitin account administrator by selecting  Request permanent deletion  form the  Delete  drop-down menu instead.

If you are interested in an individual account, please contact the Turnitin sales department at [email protected] .

If this did not answer your question or if you need further assistance, click here to email the Turnitin helpdesk.

If you choose to have your students register independently they will have to create a user profile using the link provided on our homepage. You will need to provide them with the class ID and the enrollment password so that they can join your class. If your students are not able to use valid e-mail addresses for registration purposes, please have them create a user profile using a fake e-mail address. To avoid accidentally using a real e-mail address belonging to someone else, make sure you choose a domain that you know does not exist. Do not use real email domains such as yahoo or hotmail. For example, [email protected] is good because there is no such domain your-school.Turnitincom. Make sure students remember the email address they used to create an account with so they can sign on in the future.

Please note that students using fake email addresses cannot be sent any information through email, including digital receipts and emailed links to reset their passwords. Students can submit papers; they will also have the opportunity to print their digital receipts after they submit their paper.

There are also training videos and Quickstart guides at http://www.turnitin.com/static/training_support/ .

Once you have added a student to your list, our system will send the student an e-mail with a temporary password. All students that you add will be able to log in to an established account and will not need any further assistance from you. Please note that emails may be filtered as spam, so have your students check their spam/bulk mail folders as well.

It is important to remember that if a student has used Turnitin in the past, our system will not generate a temporary password for him or her. Rather, the student should proceed to login with his or her existing login. Forgotten passwords may be reset using the "password help" link on our homepage.
