iThenticate for Graduate Students | Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯

General Guidelines

  • Graduate student access to iThenticate is provided as a courtesy, and is available only when there are unused faculty accounts. Student accounts are regularly deactivated to accommodate the needs of faculty and other students. Please plan accordingly.
  • Graduate students are only permitted to scan their own work (i.e., their own manuscript, thesis, dissertation, or grant proposal).
  • Graduate students should not repeatedly scan the same document, making only minor modifications between scans. This can contribute to mosaic plagiarism.
  • Graduate students are not permitted to scan the work of others. This means that you cannot use iThenticate to scan work for friends or colleagues inside or outside of Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯. If you are not a creator/author/contributor of a document, do not scan it.
  • For Graduate students that are teaching undergraduate courses, iThenticate cannot be used to scan the work of undergraduate students in their classes. The β€œTurnItIn” software in Sakai and D2L is the appropriate tool for scanning coursework.
  • Graduate students are expected to use the software efficiently and conservatively. Wasteful use of iThenticate is not permitted. 
  • Failure to abide by these rules can lead to permanent or temporary account deactivation. If a graduate student account is deactivated, they may contact iThenticate@ttuhsc.edu to request reactivation of student User Accounts for the iThenticate software.
