Text upload submission

There are two submission types you may use to submit a paper: File Upload or Text Submission. An instructor may set up the assignment to require the you to submit in one of the two submission types or let their students decide which submission type they would like to use.

The text (cut and paste) submission option allows users to submit information from non-supported word processors or file types, or to only submit specific parts or areas of a document that may need an Originality Report generated.

that only text can be submitted via the cut and paste method - any graphics, graphs, images, and formatting are lost when pasting into the text submission box.

  1. Enter the submission title.
  2. If there is more than one part for the assignment you will need to select which part you are submitting to from the Submission Part pull down menu.
  3. Copy the text you want to submit and paste it within the text box.

    To cut and paste text, highlight the text of a paper in a word processing or text editing program and select copy from the edit menu. To transfer the text into your browser, place your mouse cursor in the text box of the submission page and select paste from your browser’s edit menu

  4. Before submitting you will need to check the box next to the agreement your institution has provided.
  5. Select the Add Submission button to submit the text to Turnitin.
