Greetings,
Our institutional policy states students must be advised at the
point of submission their paper may be submitted to an electronic
detection service. We use the optional submission disclaimer component
of the Turnitin Bb building block. This replaces a printed coversheet
for assignments which are submitted online by presenting the student
with text which is core to all department coversheets (often there's
department specific information on them but there are four key things
students agree to by signing the coversheet). If a paper is submitted
in both printed and electronic format then the printed version must have
a coversheet attached even though the student has submitted
electronically and agreed to the same conditions.
You're welcome to view our sample institutional coversheet if it
helps.

All the best,
Trav.

> Hi all
>
> A quick question for those of you who use Turnitin or
> SafeAssign to check student submissions.
>
> Apart from a general institutional policy regarding
> plagiarism, probably published somewhere on the institutional
> website, do you/your instructors provide any specific
> advisory/disclaimer to students at the point of submission?
> Has any consistent approach been adopted or is this
> considered a matter for individual courses?
>
> A question mark has been raised with my team over whether an
> institutional policy is enough, especially where the practice
> has been to provide a coversheet that students had to sign
> when submitting hard copies in the past.
>
> Any thoughts gratefully accepted.

> Thanks
