Turnitin.com Instructions
Follow these instructions to create your turnitin.com account and to submit

Instructions for logging on to and submitting your paper on turnitin.com:
1. Go to the web site http://turnitin.com. You will see the home page.
Click: “New Users,” and on the next page, under “New students start here,”
choose “create a user profile.”
2. On the next screen you will be asked which type of account you need to
create. Select “student.” You will then need to enter the class ID number and
password for your class. Use the information below:
Select the class and period that you are in, and enter the following:
MAKE SURE YOU JOIN THE CORRECT CLASS and PRINT PROOF OF YOUR SUBMISSION!!
1st Period World History:
Class ID: 6159445
Password: changemaker
5th Period World History:
Class ID: 6159461
Password: changemaker
3rd Period APUSH
Class ID: 5768883
Password: ilovedbqs
6th Period APUSH
Class ID: 5768885
Password: ilovedbqs
MAKE SURE YOU JOIN THE CORRECT CLASS and PRINT PROOF OF YOUR SUBMISSION!!
You can also use these numbers to “join a class” if you already have a user
profile from a previous class.
3. You will then be asked to enter a valid email address. Use one that you
have easy access to.
If you do not have an email address, you may get one for free at the yahoo or
hotmail websites. If this is not a possibility for you, you may bring your
assignment to me on a disc and I can submit it for you.
4. Next you will need to select a profile password. Please keep in mind that
your password is case sensitive (for example, paSS123 would be different than
pass123), must be 6-12 characters long, and contain at least one letter and
one number (for added security). You will also be asked to choose a security
question in case you forget your password. Make sure you record all of this
information in a secure place. You could record this in your English notebook
or planner so you will have the information when you need to submit your
essays.
5. After your information is submitted and processed, you will be asked to
log in again using the new information. You can now select an assignment
listed and submit your essay.
6. Select the assignment from the list, click “submit,” and follow the
instructions. You will need to either upload your file from your computer or
disc using the Browse button, OR you may cut and paste your paper into the
windows on the submit page, but DO NOT DO BOTH!
Using the “browse” function retains all your document formatting, and is
really the best way to submit your work.
7. After submitting your paper, you will be given a Digital Receipt Number.
RECORD THIS NUMBER OR PRINT OUT THE PAGE AS PROOF OF YOUR SUBMISSION. In case
something goes wrong you can later prove that you did in fact turn in your
paper on time.
8. Usually within 24 hours you will be able to view your evaluated and
processed paper.
Good luck, and if you have any problems, email me at jlounibos@pet.k12.ca.us.
I will try to send you a return email. You may also bring your assignment to
me on a disc if you are unable to submit it online.
