Turnitin – issues resolved

Turnitin have reported that yesterday’s issues were resolved at 6:23PM.

Yesterday (17 September) Turnitin was frequently very slow (especially for students submitting and report generation). It was unusable for large periods.

Turnitin – slow submission/reporting times

Turnitin have advised that they are experiencing slow submission/reporting times. This has been a problem since early this morning.

If students wait, they should reach an option to submit without seeing the preview. This may take at least 10 minutes.

We will update this blog when we know the issue is resolved.
