Faculty Support:
Faculty members can request a Turnitin.com account by sending an e-mail to turnitin@lander.edu. Once a user profile and password have been obtained, you have the option of setting up a 30-45 minute introductory workshop during which we will walk through the process of initializing your profile, creating a class, creating an assignment, uploading a paper, and identifying the information you will need to pass along to your students if you choose to have them upload their own assignments. If you prefer, you can reference the documentation provided by Turnitin.com above to accomplish these tasks on your own.
