Improve EULA Workflow for Turnitin Submissions – 3900.125
Impact: Students
Updated Help Page: Turnitin (Student)
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable
Students now receive clearer guidance when submitting assessments to Turnitin if they haven’t signed the End User License Agreement (EULA). This update aligns with the latest 1EdTech Asset Processor Specification and improves the submission experience.
Previously, students who hadn’t signed the EULA couldn’t submit assessments and didn’t receive helpful instructions. This caused confusion and increased support requests. Now, students receive a message explaining the issue and what to do next.
Students
If a student hasn’t signed the EULA, they receive this message: Before submitting the assignment, you must review and agree to the Turnitin End User Licensing Agreement below. The modal message also displays the EULA. After scrolling through and selecting Accept, the student can submit the assignment. Blackboard sends this information to Turnitin immediately. The EULA applies to all other Ultra Courses for that student. If the EULA changes, Turnitin can reset acceptance status.
If a student selects Decline, they receive this message: By declining the Turnitin End User Licensing Agreement, you will not be able to submit assignments online. You must contact your instructor for alternate ways to submit your assignments.
This update improves clarity, reduces friction in the submission process, and streamlines the Blackboard-Turnitin integration.
