2. Enter the assignment and select "Edit" at the top right.
3. Scroll down past the assignment description box, submission type, and number of attempts settings until you reach "Plagiarism Review".
4. Select the option for "Turnitin" from the dropdown menu.

What if students have already submitted their work?
If students have already begun submitting to the assignment before Turnitin is enabled, you may still enable Turnitin using the above steps.
Once enabled, Turnitin will queue any submissions to be processed in their system. This may take several hours to complete and generate a similarity report. If you do not see a similarity report after allowing several hours, you may enter the Canvas Speedgrader for the assignment and select "Resubmit to Turnitin" for any missing reports.
