- Under-graduate Students, who use the similarity detection tool for class needs, are suggested to seek assistance from their class teachers /instructors.
- For those who have special needs to use the similarity detection tool, please send an email from your UM email account with the subject "Request of Turnitin" and include your full name, student ID number and reasons, to lib_ref@um.edu.mo. All requests will be considered case by case.
For Teaching Staff:
- Teaching staff are encouraged using the assignment with Turntin on UMMoodle to check their students’ papers.
- If there was no suitable class on UMMoodle for special checking with Turnitin, teaching staff may drop a line to ICTO for requesting a special one.
- If needed, teaching staff can grant access to their Teaching Assistants (TAs) on UMMoodle to assist with similarity checking.
- Teaching staff may also request a standalone Turnitin account (not through UMMoodle) by emailing to lib_ref@um.edu.mo and thereby enabling the direct use of Turnitin at its webpage in an effort for checking their own papers, including the proposal of MYRG.

If you have any inquiries, please email lib_ref@um.edu.mo. Thank you!
**Note: A high similarity score does not necessarily indicate plagiarism, and AI detection may produce false positives. The final determination should be made by the instructor or the relevant department.
