How do I download all student submissions for an Turnitin Assignment?
You will learn how to download all of the student submissions to the Turnitin Assignment.
You may want to do this if you have imported a Turnitin Assignment from a previous term, the students have submitted their papers and you discover that the Feedback Studio will not allow you to give grades or comments to your students.
As part of the process of replacing the old assignment with a new one, best practice would be to download all submissions, create or copy a new Turnitin Assignment, then have the students submit to the new assignment.
1. Enter your course and click on the Turnitin Assignment.
2. Scroll down to the Turnitin interface.
Alert: This interface shown is the Turnitin Assignment 1.1 (pre-summer 2026). The current interface (Turnitin 1.3) looks a bit different.
This means that you will not be able to use the Feedback Studio to grade or provide comments.
