Unicheck Customers Migration
Attention Unicheck customers:
As you know, Turnitin plans to shut down the Unicheck platform in 2024; please be aware of the following information to help plan your institution's migration to its chosen Turnitin product:
- Beginning in 2023, Turnitin transitioned support of the Unicheck platform to "maintenance mode" only. While we may provide bug fixes as necessary, no further product developments will be released. In some cases, this may lead to interruption of service if you have not started migrating off the platform.
- After December 31, 2024, Unicheck will no longer be available for use and customers will not be able to access the platform.
If you have any questions or would like assistance with migration planning, please reach out to the Turnitin Migrations team at UCmigration@turnitin.com.
