Turnitin.com is a paid service that NJIT provides to allow faculty to screen student work for possible plagiarism. Many professors submit student papers on their own, or selectively submit suspect papers. However, if your professor has chosen to have you submit work into his/her class account, you will need to create a student user account for yourself. You will need the unique class ID # and password that the professor has created for your class in order to submit work to their account. Your instructor must supply this information. For further help, contact the Help Desk at 973-596-2900, or you can download the full Student User Guide.
