  1. Click the class name "Seoul National University 2020" on your Turnitin homepage.
  2. On the class homepage, click on the "Submit" button to the right of an assignment for a similarity check. There will be 10 assignments in the inbox. The assignments are all independent, so if you upload a file to the first assignment, then upload a revision to the second assignment, the revised text will not be compared against the original uploaded to the first one.
    If you submit your file to the 10th assignment in the inbox, the file will be saved to the Turnitin database. If you have done so, and want your file to be removed from the database, please contact the SNUL Turnitin administrator: libserv@snu.ac.kr
