What's happening?

Turnitin will undergo a four hour maintenance period from 16.00pm to 20:00pm GMT on Saturday 7 March 2026.

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, please log a ticket via the IT website
