This guide details the process of completing a file upload to Turnitin (Mid-semester, End-of-semester, Deferred orSupplementary) Learn.UQ exam, where a Blackboard test will be used to release the exam question paper and the exam answers file will be submitted to Turnitin.

Note: If prompted, complete the UQ Authentication process to access your exam. For further information refer to Multi-factor authentication (MFA) guide.

You will need to start your exam at the time listed on your personal examination timetable. You must start submitting after the exam start time + duration (check your personal exam timetable) + 10 minutes planning time. 

Note: It may take up to 15 minutes for your exam to upload and submit.

Late penalties will be applied after exam start time + duration + 10 minutes planning time + 15 minutes submission time unless there is sufficient evidence that you encountered problems with the system and/or process that were beyond your control.
