Adjusting the Post Date of an Assignment in Turnitin - Canvas

Feedback/Comments left in Turnitin will not be visible to your students until the due date of the Canvas assignment has passed. If you would like your students to see your comments early you will need to adjust the "Post Date" in Turnitin. Please be aware after adjusting the "Post Date" any change to the "Due Date" in Canvas will reset the Post Date to the due date of the assignment. 

There are two sets of directions. One for setting up your Turnitin account. If you have already done this please skip the "Setting up your Turnitin Account" and proceed to the "Adjusting the Post Date" section.
