Exempting individuals from Turnitin
To exempt individual users from Turnitin, your administrator must enable Turnitin for the Assignments tool for your organization or your course. Turnitin exemptions apply to all assignment submission folders within a course.
-
On the Assignment Submission Folders page, from the More Actions context menu, select Manage Preference for Turnitin®.
-
The Manage Preference for Turnitin® page displays where you can select individual users to be exempt from Turnitin using the toggles. An X on the toggle means that the learner's submissions are exempted from Turnitin. A checkmark on the toggle means that the learner's submissions will be checked by Turnitin.
