Extending Deadlines in Turnitin using Blackboard 9

These are instructions for changing due dates and/or accepting late submissions in Turnitin assignments in Blackboard 9:

  • Make sure Edit mode is ON (top right of screen)
  • Then go to Assignment Dropbox in the left hand panel
  • Select dropdown menu next to the Turnitin assignment you want to edit
  • Select EDIT
  • change due date
  • change post date
  • then save

However, if you want to just accept late papers and not change the due date:

  • in the screen where you can change the due date, select More Options
  • scroll down to the option that says Accept Late Submissions? Switch to yes
  • and Save
