How do I view my Turnitin similarity score? (students)

The Similarity Report can be viewed after you have submitted your assignment if your course tutor has enabled this feature.

To view your Similarity Report:

1. Log in to Blackboard and open Courses.

2. Go to the module you submitted your assignment to.

3. Navigate to the Turnitin submission point that you submitted your assignment to. When you open the Turnitin Assignment you will see an overview of your submission, including the mark and the similarity score if it is available.

6. You will now see your Similarity Report, with a breakdown of the matches found to other submissions. You can view this as an overall match summary or as a break down of sources that share material with your submission.
