What's happening?

Planned maintenance of Turnitin will take place from 4.00pm to 10.00pm BST on Saturday 25 October 2025.

How will this affect me?

During this time, Turnitin and Gradescope, including access via Minerva, may experience intermittent availability.

For further information, you can visit the Turnitin status page and the Gradescope status page.

If you are using a Blackboard Assignment which includes a Turnitin Originality report, the report may not process until the maintenance is complete and Turnitin services are restored.

Where can I get help?

If you experience technical issues after the maintenance period, you can log in to the IT website and search for: Something broken? This will direct you to a form where you can create a new IT ticket and provide details of your issue.
