Turnitin Trial Submission

To promote academic integrity and to enable students to monitor their written work, Saybrook University utilizes Turnitin for assignments submitted in Canvas. Any written document submitted through Canvas is automatically run through Turnitin, which generates an originality report that provides a similarity index score. Writing Services houses a Turnitin Trail Submission within our Canvas Shell that can be used to access a similarity report prior to submission within the course. Within the course, Turnitin is accessible within the navigation bar on the left. 

Drop-in Hours

Each semester, Writing Services hosts drop-in hours which are best used for quick questions about writing or the resources available through the website. Individuals with questions that require further support should schedule an appointment with one of our writing coaches​​.
