How to view your Turnitin submission status, Digital Receipt, Submission ID, and feedback

This page is for the new LTi integration. If your assignment was held during the 2021-22 academic year go here to see the guides for the building block integration

After you have submitted you may need to view your submission to obtain a digital receipt, submission ID, or view your grade and feedback when they are ready.

Viewing Feedback

• Locate the link to the Turnitin Assignment and open it.
• Selecting your paper title will load it into Feedback studio which shows an online version of your paper that your tutor uses to grade your work. If available it will contain your grade and feedback. Also, if it has been enabled on your assignment, you will be able to view your similarity report .

• If your tutor has used Feedback Studio to add comments, these will appear on screen after you’ve loaded your paper.  Comments will appear as blue speech marks or blue boxes.
• Clicking on a blue box will expand the comment or QuickMark to see the detailed comment if applicable.

Viewing your provisional score, general comments, rubrics, and listening to voice comments

• On the right-hand side of the page you should see a series of blue boxes.  These allow you access to the rubric scorecard for your assignment (if one is being used) you may also allow you to listen to any voice comments.  Voice comments are short recordings that your tutor may make to summarise their thoughts.  This will not be available unless your tutor has chosen to use this feature.  At the bottom of this sidebar, you can view general comments which have been left by the marker.
• The very top of the blue sidebar area shows you any score which has been entered by the marker for your paper.  Note that scores which appear in Turnitin are usually provisional, and should not be considered your ‘final’ mark.

Download digital receipt

• Selecting the notepad icon will download a digital receipt for your paper.
• when you open it you will be able to see important information regarding your submission

• The unique identifier for your submission is the Submission ID sometimes referred to as the Paper ID. Try to quote it if you have any need for assistance.

Checking your Turnitin submission and finding your submission ID

This guide explains how to view a submission you have already made to a Turnitin assignment, and how to check and print the submission ID for your submission in the event that you did not write it down or have lost / not received an email.

Locate your Turnitin assignment link

1. Login to Blackboard and browse to the the relevant course.  Once you are in your course, locate the content area where the submission link is, and click on it (for example, Assignments ).

Click ‘View / Complete’

2. Locate the Turnitin Assignment link, which will look similar to the screenshot above, but will have a different name. Click on the link which says View / Complete.   This will take you into your assignment homepage for this specific assignment.  This is the same link you clicked on when you first submitted your assignment.  Clicking this link after you have submitted will allow you to check the submission you have made, and access related materials, including information about your assignment, and similarity reports / feedback / grades.  The availability of similarity reports and feedback / grades depends on whether your tutor is using these features.

Resubmitting, viewing, downloading, and accessing feedback

3.  As you have already submitted to the assignment in question, you will see a range of different buttons depending on the whether the assignment due date has passed or not, and depending on how your tutor has setup the assignment.   Generally you will see one of the 3 button layouts shown in the image above:

In order to check the work you have submitted before it has been marked, or in order to find your submission ID, you should click on the ‘View’ button (it doesn’t matter whether it is blue or grey in this instance)

4.  After clicking on the view button, your submission will load up in a new window.

Viewing information about your submission

5.  Using the side panel on the right hand side, look for the ‘i’ button.  Click on this button to view information about your submission.

6.  At the top of the pop up you will see your submission ID .  This is the receipt number for your submission, and is the same one which is shown on screen immediately after you have successfully submitted.  You are usually also sent this by email.

Downloading a copy of your digital receipt

7.  If you wish to download a PDF copy of your receipt, you can do so by clicking on the download button  and then selecting ‘Digital Receipt’

New to Turnitin? We're glad to have you with us!

On this page, you'll find everything you need to get started with Turnitin. We'll start by helping you create your account all the way through to submitting your first file and viewing any feedback your instructor has left you.

There are a couple of ways your instructor can add you to a class. They can either add you to a class directly using your email address or give you a class ID and enrollment key to let you self-join. Both methods will create the exact same type of account.

The student homepage

The student homepage is the first page you see after logging in to Turnitin. You'll see a list of all the classes that you are currently enrolled in. Select the name of your class to open your assignment inbox.

Download a Turnitin submission receipt

What is it.

When you submit an assessment, you will receive a digital receipt. This confims that you have successfully submitted your work and includes other important information worth keeping such as your your submission ID and the date and time sent.

What does it do?

Not only does a digital receipt give you peace of mind that you have submitted your work, but it is useful to have for the rare occasion that something goes wrong and a staff member needs to locate your submission for whatever reason. Knowing the paper ID is especially key to the process. This guide will show you how to locate your receipt from within your Turnitin assignment dashboard.

What should I know?

Step 1: From your module page in My Dundee, open the relevant Turnitin submission point.

Step 2: Click Launch from the side panel to open a detailed view of your submission.

Step 3: Click on the last icon in the row with your submission title – it will look like a notepad.

Step 4: This will download your receipt, so be sure to save it somewhere you can find it again later if you need it. The paper ID/Submission ID can be found at the bottom of the text, above the preview of your document.
