If you accidently delete a Turnitin assignment, you are able to restore the submitted paper. To do this, Turnitin requires:

  • a new Turnitin assignment to be created in your Learn.UQ course
  • a dummy assignment to be submitted to the new Turnitin assignment

This is so Turnitin can search for the new Turnitin assignment name and the dummy submission ID to locate where to restore the files.

Note: Please ensure that if a rubric was linked to the missing assignment and used to grade the submissions, the same rubric should be attached to the new assignment by the rubric owner. If not, this rubric information will be lost.
