IT Help and Support

University Information Services
 

28 March 2024

UIS now supports the technical aspects of the University's Turnitin text matching software licence. The Education Quality and Policy Office (EQPO) is responsible for any policy guidelines relating to academic integrity. 

Turnitin is widely used in UK universities. It text matches submitted work against a large database of online resources and publications.

The licence is made available to any member of academic staff across the collegiate institution. Staff should first refer to the University's policy on the use of Turnitin.

Staff with a teacher role on a course can access Turnitin via Moodle, or directly if they have a Turnitin account. Student submissions can only be made through Moodle.
