Setting up your account as a user

This guide will help you set up your iThenticate account as a user.

  1. Check your email inbox for a welcome email from Turnitin.
  2. In the welcome email, select the Activate my Account button. This will take you to a login screen. 

    The URL for the Activate my Account button will not include a specific reference to Turnitin or iThenticate and will look similar to: https://u4671734.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.SIJKxPG-2F2UnFl40D.

  3. Enter a username. Your username can be the same as your email address or something else you would like to use for logging in.
  4. Enter a password and then enter it again for confirmation. Passwords must contain:
    1. at least 8 characters 
    2. at least 1 letter
    3. at least 1 number
  5. Read through and agree to the Turnitin End-User License Agreement.
  6. Select the Create Account button to be taken to your new account.

We recommend bookmarking your account in your browser to make it easier to find your institution's private login.

Your iThenticate administrator may assign you a view only permission. View-only users can sign in and view folders, submissions, and Similarity Reports they have access to, but they can’t upload new submissions. If your account is changed to read-only after creation, you’ll still be able to access any folders and submissions you could see before the change, the only difference is that you won’t be able to submit new files going forward.
