The first time you login to Turnitin.com, you will need to create a new user profile. You only need to do this once--the first time you login. After you create this profile, Turnitin.com will recognize you just by your email address and password. If you created a user profile last semester, you don't have to create a new one. To create a new user profile, follow these 5 steps:

Step One. In the upper right-hand corner of the page, click on create new user profile.

---

Step Two. On the next screen, enter your email address in the blank.

---

Step Three. Choose a password and be sure to write it down somewhere. If you lose this password, you won't be able to create another profile with the same email address again, so choose something that you can remember easily. The password must be alphanumeric.

---

Step Four. Continue filling in the other information it asks for (your country, student status, etc.) When you come to the end of the profile information, click on start class enrollment wizard.

---

Step Five. You will need two special items of information for this section, both of which the teacher must give you. Without these numbers, Turnitin will have no idea how to identify you from the other millions of students. The class ID and enrollment password tells Turnitin what school you attend and what class you're in.

Now you're done! If you have a paper you're ready to submit, you can do so now. When you login to www.turnitin.com, all you need to do from now on is enter your regular email address and password.
