The Turnitin service may be unavailable during a scheduled maintenance period on Saturday 16 June 2012, from 15:00 to 19:00 UK time.

During this time, it may not be possible to make submissions to Turnitin, nor view existing submissions and originality reports.

If you do have any Turnitin assignments with a due date set during this time, ensure that they are rescheduled either before or at least several hours after the scheduled maintenance window. Inform students of any changes made to the deadline.

We advise against setting out-of-hours deadlines for assignments or other online assessment tasks in Blackboard as students cannot easily contact someone at the university about last minute questions or difficulties.
