Submitting your assignment to Turnitin via Blackboard
IMPORTANT – If your document includes tables, charts, graphs, comments or images, it is highly recommended to convert it to PDF before submitting to Turnitin. In Microsoft Office, you can achieve this by selecting the ‘save as…’ option and choosing the .pdf format. If you used Google Docs or other free office-style suites such as Google Docs, Open Office, Libre Office, WPS, Apache Office or similar non-Microsoft formats, please ensure to convert your file to PDF. Submitting non-Microsoft files directly to Turnitin may result in the removal of images/graphs and comments from your submission.

Special Considerations
What to do when things do not go to plan.
If you are unable to attend an exam, complete or meet an assessment deadline due to any illness or other exceptional circumstances outside of your control, completing a Special Considerations request form is your way to let us know.
Watch this video before you do so you can consider whether your circumstances are likely to be accepted:
When to make a request
You should usually make a Special Considerations request within five working days of the impacted assessment or exam. Your case will need to be considered by the Special Considerations Board. If you submit your request too late, the Board will not be able to consider your case.
Before you apply
Be familiar with the guidance before starting the process.
The guidance includes examples of circumstances that are likely and unlikely to be accepted, and what you can use as supporting information.
Special Considerations online request form
Have your supporting documents ready before completing the form and note it should be submitted as soon as you can – usually no longer than five working days after any assessment or deadline may have been affected by exceptional circumstances.
Deadline extension request for assessments
Your request should be submitted as soon as possible, before the submission deadline(s). Extensions cannot be accepted after the deadline has passed. You should only use the Special Considerations process in relation to late submissions where you were unable to submit an extension request on time.
