Turnitin update – Summer Semester (opt-in) 

A Turnitin update will be available for Summer Semester. The update includes an enhanced similarity report, mark range rubrics, decimal totals, individual student extensions, and overall improved workflows for marking and managing submissions. Staff can opt-in to use the new version of the Turnitin tool for Summer Semester courses before it becomes the default for all courses in Semester 1, 2026. 

Nominations are open for supported early adoption of the Turnitin Update in Summer Semester. Course coordinators who participate will receive dedicated one-on-one support and have the opportunity to provide feedback to inform the UQ-wide deployment.

Review your grade history

This will allow staff to confirm the validity and check for errors.
