There are two main settings to consider for late submissions and authorised extensions to Turnitin assignments. These only apply to the first-sit assignment, not the re-sit assignment as the deadline for the re-sit is final.
The first-sit Turnitin submission point should be set to allow late submissions, as described in the section of this guide 'Setting up a Turnitin submission point'.
If a student has already made a submission prior to the deadline and needs to submit late, or has an agreed extension, their previously submitted paper will need to be deleted from the submission point before they are able to submit another once the deadline has passed. This is because once the due date is reached, all submitted work is locked and re-submissions are not allowed.
The steps to correct each scenario are listed below.
First-sit assignments should be set to allow submissions after the due date. The steps below show how to check that this is the case and how to make changes if necessary.
Navigate to Course Tools, Turnitin assignments.
Select the relevant assignment name, then choose Edit assignment.
Expand the Optional settings
Ensure the Allow submissions after the due date? is set to Yes.
Use the Submit button to save changes. If you do not need to make changes, you can navigate away from this page.
On the due date, all submitted work is locked for assessment and re-submission is not allowed. If you have given a student an extension and they have submitted a draft assignment before the due date, you will need to delete that draft submission from the inbox.
Navigate to Course Tools, Turnitin assignments.
Select the relevant assignment name.
From the assignment inbox, tick the check-box next to the name of the student, then select the Delete button at the top of the table.
